After visiting Gold Mountain, I was determined to complete a “Gold & Silver” day. Silver Peak was available to me in the afternoon. We are often spoiled with hikes that have manicured and maintained trails. This is not one of them. This time around, I seem to have found the more popular route to the summit, which involves scrambling up gullies to reach the summit road. It was much quicker coming down than it was going up.
