This was a fun weekend trip with Amber & Jose to bag a Wilderness Highpoint (Mount Grafton. We were able to drive up to the saddle between Patterson BM and Peak 10105 on Friday, where we set up camp. The hike across the ridgeline was very scenic. We also stopped at the county highpoint, which was on the southern slope of Peak 10802. The return trip was tiring, since I didn't sleep well the night before. The shining star of this hike were the local elk, whose game trails along the ridge (and around the peaks) made the dreaded bushwhacking nonexistent!
