Heart Bar Peak is a fairly easy hike on its own with about a 5.4 mile r/t and 1100' gain, but since Peak 8868' was nearby, my friend Brett and I decided to combine them, making a 6.9 mile r/t hike with 1800' gain, with the road leading up to 8868 being very steep in spots. Getting to Heart Bar was simply following 1N38 up from Hwy 38 as 1N38 does switchbacks up the western flank of 8868. Then it reaches a saddle between 8868 and Heart Bar, where a marked use trail heads west along the north slope just under Heart Bar's ridge top with a seriously gentle grade bypassing a few false summits enroute. The use trail follows an abandoned roadbed at times and actually passes under the summit and a little past to turn to the northeast up a ducked route to the summit. The scenery is fantastic and I highly recommend this lovely little summit. The register is on the summit boulder which is a very easy class 2, and the rock has an erect dead log in the middle of it. Stats below include Heart Bar only.
