A 3-Peaker day today. Leaving from Dawson Saddle, climbed past Throop to summit Mt Burnham first, then over to Mt Hawkins and then finishing with Throop Peak. The PCT that connects the 3 is super-easy to follow, but the trail from PCT to the Throop summit, coming from Mt Hawkins can barely be called a trail... just aim for the highest point and climb. The trail to the summit from the Mt Burnham direction is much easier to find/follow.
