"Finally after all these years: Sierra Crest Traverse. Started 8:30am at Donner Pass. Hit Donner Peak and scrambled to its true summit, such a cool peak. Then up onto the ridge of Mount Judah to skirt a snow bench and onto the summit. Had to detour to a narrow section of a huge snow bench to get up onto the ridge of the PCT headed toward Mount Anderson. Ducked into Benson Hut for lunch and then tried to head up the slopes of Mt. Anderson. Despite my crampons holding well, my brother’s microspikes weren’t up to the conditions so we headed around Anderson through some snowy stretches. Anderson tempted me, so went offtrail through meadow and then talus up its mellow southern slopes along ridgeline. Next up was Tinker Peak, highest peak of the day with a fun little scramble to a supreme vantage point. We started dragging a bit after the long descent from Tinker and really dragging on the 1.4 mile gradual climb to the Granite Peak Trail junction. Minimal snow on that trail, but it was a long 3.4 mile descent down to the Palisades parking lots. A classic day out. " — scott • Jun 22, 2024

"Great short hike up the PCT and then up the spur to Donner Peak. Wildflowers in full bloom. This is a really cool peak with some interesting tiramisu-like turrets at the summit. Wandered around a bit to find an easy way to the true summit, some fun slab scrambling. Great views down to Donner Lake and south down the Sierra Crest." — scott • Jul 13, 2022

"Parked at the Hwy 40 turnout. Walked through the old train tunnels and the walked on top to the base of the North East face. Ascended via the face in winter conditions. Descended via the north ridge back to car." — barrytimko • Mar 29, 2020
"A family group of 11 did a fun hike of the Mt Judah loop from Donner Lake road. We were escaping the smokey smog around Lake Tahoe from fires in Mariposa. Clear views all around except over The Lake." — Nimblefoot • Jul 19, 2017

"Combined with neighboring Mt. Judah. Somehow managed this one at the end of May without snowshoes. Got slightly lost on the Sugar Bowl slopes, but GPS helps a lot.
