"Took care of Butterfly Peak first. I followed HPS Route 1 directions. I found them to not exactly match with what I was seeing in the field. Somehow I managed to stumble onto the summit trail anyway and made it to the top. I had no issues at all with Rock Point, although details in the HPS description are outdated. I managed to get both in before the sun went down." — MikeTeeples • Dec 9, 2023

"Hot day and a late-ish 9am start mean monsoon storm clouds had already started to build by the time I top out. Use trail is faint, but goes the full way to the summit. I descended off the SE ridge/face - use trail was much less defined there and I ended up use the loppers a decent amount to clear out a better descent path." — edg • Aug 12, 2022

"I had an ambitious day planned. The goal was to hike the southern six peaks of the desert divide: Rock Point, Butterfly, Ken Point, Lion, Pine, and Pyramid in a loop of sorts, then ride back to my car on a stashed MTB. I lost a lot of time routefinding my way down Rock Point, so it was nice to hit the trails and roads all the way to the old gold mines. The mines are surprisingly deep shaft mines, but there are large iron gates barring entry and to protect the resident bat population. I was able to follow the route around to the S side of the peak and ended struggling up a very indistinct route up the SE ridge and to the summit. On the way down, I tried to stick to the primary route, but managed to lose that one too and, like on the way up, there was much pausing to check the map, the compass, look for cairns, backtracking, etc. All told it sucked up a ton of time and by the time I got to the junction with the PCT, it was too late in the day to think about heading to the three northern peaks, so I set my sights on Ken Point..." — klotito • Mar 18, 2018
