Outstanding climb to the summit. Once again followed Forest Road 289 to St. Peter Dome Road to the North Trailhead. Then from the trailhead we hiked a portion the Boundary Peak Trail past the brushy areas on the peak and then bushwhacked to the summit. Fabulous rock formations around the summit, with superb views of the canyons below, St. Peters Dome, and Los Alamos.
