"Tried tackling this hill from the west side this time. Started off pretty flat but made up the altitude gain during the last third of the climb. One thing to note, there seems to be a developing social trail on this side and it looks like someone is attempting to maintain it. The trail is non-existent at the start and tends to fade in and out over the course, I didn't notice the trail until I started coming down. It would have made the climb up a bit easier." — brode-meisterbaker • May 7, 2025

"Took the Ranger Trail from the Ranger Trailhead (5 Tables) Parking Lot in the South Mountain Preserve to the National Trail after crossing the Summit Road en route. Turned right at the National Trail and after a short way, turned off to the right on a marked trail to the summit of Goat Hill. Class 1 all the way to within a few feet of the summit, then Class 2." — andyforster • Mar 2, 2025

"Started on W Estrella Drive outside house number 4110. Hiked SE to the San Juan Lookout and proceeded on the Alta Trail to the Trail Post at 2460ft. Left the Alta trail as it descends from a post at 2460ft on to a clear trail to the summit. According to my GPS the northern-most of the summit blocks is the true summit by a few feet. In order to ascend the final north summit block you have 3 very short routes: A. Class 1 with exposure or B. Class 2 with prickly bush in the way or C. Class 3 short scramble. The south summit block is easier to achieve." — andyforster • Feb 25, 2025

"There's a free parking lot on E Valley View Drive just east of S 24th Street. If that lots full, you can park on S 24th Street or E Euclid Avenue. The most direct route is to take the Mormon Trail to the saddle between Mormon Peak and Two Peaks. Then turn right, Class 2 through a rock field and head for the false summit which is a few feet lower than the true summit to the west. (For GPS Track, see my post to Mormon Peak on this date at Peakbagger.com). To avoid the rock field, go straight at the saddle between Mormon Peak and Two Peaks and the turn right into a wash. This route will take you to the saddle between the 2 peaks of Two Peaks. Turn left at the saddle to reach the true summit of Two Peaks. This is a Class 1 route." — andyforster • Feb 23, 2025

"Started on W Estrella Drive outside house number 4110. Hiked SE to the San Juan Lookout and proceeded on the Alta Trail to the Trail Post at 2460ft. At 1925ft next to the trail, passed a bee's nest complete with honeycombs hanging from the roof of a rock inlay! Left the Alta trail at 2460ft on a clear trail to the summit. According to my GPS the northern-most of the summit blocks is the true summit. In order to ascend the final block you have 3 routes: A. Class 1 with exposure or B. Class 2 with prickly bush in the way or C. Class 3 short scramble. The 20-year-old Summit Register, in a green circular can, is located on the south summit block." — andyforster • Jan 30, 2024
