I hiked solo to the summit of Hawkins Mountain, also hitting smaller peaks NW and S of the main peak. I went by the Camp Creek Road / Trail (305 on USGS map), where I found a lot of Serpentine rocks. These are dark green ocean-floor rocks with distinctive white serpentine lines. The trail becomes unreliable above 5600 ft, but bushwhacking and navigating by sight is reasonably easy. The view at the top of Mt Stuart and the surrounding landscape is fabulous.

3840 ft gain, 11 miles, 8:30 hours.
