This amounted to a pleasant stroll in the forest. I started at the Onyx Summit parking area and picked up the Pacific Crest Trail heading south. The HPS hiking directions were a bit overthought when written. Instead of trying to figure out the details, I simply followed the PCT south for 4.4 miles to where I spotted a trail duck just to the right of the trail. I left the PCT here and followed the occasional trail duck and boot prints to the summit. Had to hop a few boulders on the summit, but after all, I had to be on the high point to make it official. Returned along the same route through nice scenery.
