The road in from the south was SUPER rough, but Laszlo's Jeep had no problem. We parked at a saddle between the 2 peaks, then went to Tappen first, before making our way back to the Jeep, then up to Peak 4540. It was Class 2 the whole way with great views of the Castle Peaks and the rest of the Highland Range.
