"Started from the trailhead at the top of Harris Springs Rd. Went up the ridge line toward Harris Mt, stopping at South Harris (aka BBK) on the way and then going over to Mally Peak after Harris Mt. Part of the descent route, the section down to the Harris/Griffith trail, is steep but saves going up and down on the ridge line back to the trailhead. Also, you get to hike the trail with great views of Lovell Canyon. " — Heartattackbruce • Sep 27, 2022

"I've been wanting to try this route to Harris for a while now, but the idea of bushwhacking didn't entice me, so I kept putting it off. Well, today was the day. Ritch and I started from across the roundabout from the Spring Mountain Visitor Center, hiked onto the Packrat Trail, then the Escarpment Trail before breaking off to attempt the potential break in the cliffs. Luckily, it did go through, so we saved a bit of trail walking. Once above the cliffs, we tried to make our way to the ridge I had planned to go up, but it was too difficult to get to, so we chose another steep ridge. The brush was thick & painful, but passable without a machete. Once on the ridgeline, the brush was much more manageable. We made our way along the ridge, stopping at Dragonfly Overlook and Mally Peak along the way. Instead of returning the same way, we opted for a more direct route down to the road. It started out steep, but ok. It never got BAD, but it wasn't good until we hit pavement at the campground. We hiked through the campground, then took a series of trails back to the Visitor Center, then our car. It was a hot, humid, tiring day." — Kevin • Aug 14, 2021

"Went to Harris Mountain "The Hard Way" and thought this was going to be the summit as it was a definite peak. Well, it wasn't Harris so we added it and used our nickname together for it." — acekelly • Aug 15, 2018
