"After visiting Throop Peak, I continued on to Mount Hawkins on the PCT. I am very familiar with Mount Hawkins as Peakery saw fit to name me a summit steward of it. I didn't stay long as I was eager to get started on my descent to Copter Ridge. However, with summit stewardship comes responsibility.

"This was my 2nd summit of Hawkins, but from a different way. The first was from Dawson Saddle, over Throop Peak, then to a car shuttle at Islip Saddle. This time, I hiked out and back from Islip Saddle, over Mt. Islip's summit, down to Windy Gap, then to Hawkins, making it about 12 mi. round trip. It was a bit tougher this time. I had a 5 peak plan (17-18 mi. round trip) this day. I wanted to summit Islip, Hawkins, Throop, Burnham, and Baden-Powell.

"Sencond peak of two on this day. I Hiked up to Throop Peak (9,138') from Dawson Saddle; then, I took Pacific Crest Trail to a narrow use trail to summit of Hawkins. After relaxing on the summit, I went down to Windy Gap and then down past Little Jimmy Trail Camp, then to Islip Saddle. Abundant lovely Lodgepole Pines and several gorgeous Limber Pines ascending Throop Peak, along the way to Hawkins, and then for some distance along PCT to just before Windy Gap." - brianpowell, Jul 9, 2016

"Starting from the pullout a mile east of Islip Saddle, I headed up a gully (not really a use trail) to the PCT, then hit Mt. Hawkins, Copter Ridge, back to Mt. Hawkins (this log is for my second ascent of Hawkins on this hiking day), then Middle Hawkins, and back down to my car. Total mileage was 13.39 miles. " - HikerMark, Jul 11, 2015
