Stop Number 4. Thought this was going to be a quick one on the way to Bare Mountain, but I was foiled by locked gates, yet again. Decided to wing it and go cross country which turned out to result in bushwhacking through Spanish Bayonets and doing some unexpected bouldering. The "summit" of Hillyer is really just the highpoint of a large plateau. Not sure why the forest service had the road closed. It was in fine condition and no snow for miles and miles. Probably too lazy to open/close it based on conditions...
