"Fletcher has an interesting summit identity dynamic. Most maps identify the southeast peak as Fletcher Peak even though the first bump to the northwest is considered slightly higher. I wonder if there are government records identifying the lower point as the summit. It'd be interesting if the official Fletcher Peak is actually the lower point. I also stopped at Bristlecone/Raintree Peak on the descent, which only requires a slight detour. The route is well-trafficked, and the parking lot was completely full when I left.

"5.20.26~ Fletcher Peak Late day (3:40pm) workout. 2:27hrs. Up in 1:23, :10min on top, down in :54min. I picked up lil Red car from mechanic near the strip @ 2pm and wasn’t going to fight with traffic to go home so I sought respite in the Mtns til commute was more reasonable. The forest section was very cold. " — paula.raimondi • May 20, 2026
"A beautiful alternative to the standard trails to summit Fletcher Peak. Most people retrace their steps for the descent. The attached track doesn’t. It drops off the south side of the peak and goes down the very steep east side gully from the saddle below the peak. It will reconnect you to the ascent canyon route which you follow back to the TH. Get out and explore! Have fun! Be safe! Note: the side spike on the track is not part of the route. Stay in the canyon. " — Heartattackbruce • May 12, 2026
"Note the western peaklet of Fletcher, exclusive of trees, is at least as high as eastern peaklet. Trees are not included in elevation by the USGS. See first photo for gps data from 3 transits" — hwstock • May 10, 2026
"Never thought I'd be heading to Charleston in March but hey the snow is gone, well almost!
Headed to fletcher and found quite a bit of snow on the NE sloop of Bristlecone peak so I stayed on the snow free ridge and stopped at Bristlecone on my way to Fletcher which was also mostly snow free if you stay on the ridge west of the trail. On the descent I didn't mind trudging down through the slush under Bristlecone Peak. Kept my feet cool." — DudeAlmighty • Mar 26, 2026
"Started walking up towards rain tree on a whim, knew it was a medium/easy walk on a Sunday afternoon. My sense of adventure got the better of me and I ended up at the summit of fletcher in 2 and a bit hours. Great views of Mummy’s Toe & Charleston peak! Definitely snowy and slushy still, wouldn’t recommend going to crazy! Be careful and prep for wind over the top of bristlecone" — lily • Mar 15, 2026
"Some snowy / icy parts; some totally clear parts. Used microspikes for about 1/4 of the trip, but honestly could've gone without for most of it. Beautiful day, got warm and melty and muddy. Stopped by Raintree, considered going on to Mummy Spring but trail looked little travelled and didn't feel like sinking into the snow. Then was told on the way down there was a 60 ft. frozen waterfall there. Next time! Couldn't find the peak register at Fletcher - probably buried in snow. " — tracyt • Feb 1, 2026
"Hike/run with Lou starting at North Loop TH. We bagged our first 10K+ peak together. Watch died about 1.5 miles from the finish so total distance about 6.6 miles.
Proud of how well he did. Not an easy trail." — saschahudson • Jul 28, 2025
"7.10.25~Fletcher Peak with Jr for his 1st time. 6.8 miles, 2,200’ gain in 3:20hrs. Our 1:50pm start was very warm with virtually no breeze. James making the rounds and gearing up for his 1st Charleston summit. We are hoping for next week before his 17th bday when clouds come back and temps drop a bit. Today’s air quality was bad with smoke. Jr had one slice of pizza and 33 oz of water. His breakfast fuel was pancakes and a McDouble. I had 33oz of water, 1/3 bottle of gatorlyte, an applesauce packet and a sandwich. My breakfast fuel was a banana and 23 grams of protein yogurt drink.

"Went to Fletcher Peak via the Hummingbird Hollow route. Yes there were actually hummingbirds flying around and the spring is flowing with ice cold water. So peaceful and beautiful, had the whole place to myself. Great hike with my dog Daisy." — maggielynn • Jun 8, 2025
