"Camped in large flat area on top of YMCA, drive to end of road and traversed northwest ridge near gorge. Travel down and up valley barely any snow some loose scree, some large boulders. Found summit cairn and returned via marked, worn trail. Nice 50 degrees had some 20+ mph winds on summit and ridges. Love this mountain but would definitely recommend traveling on trail if not in decent shape. Route down into valley offers some difficult, steep terrain. Lots of bighorn sign some bear and mountain lion signs also." — SladeNMak • Jan 4, 2014

"Hiked YMCA Mountain and traversed the south rim of the Royal Gorge to Baldy Mountain. Amazing weather for January. Several inches of snow on northern slopes, but otherwise dry. The views of the canyon are spectacular. There are also many breathtaking views of Pikes Peak, the Wet Mountains, the top of Sangres, Grape Creek, and the Arkansas River.
Access is off the beaten path. Take Hwy 50 10.5 mi west of Canon City to Copper Gulch Road; 2.5 mi south on Copper Gulch Road to CR3A; 1.1 mi west on CR3A to CR341A; 2 mi to BLM marker 6100; if 6100 is open, 2.7 mi to 6100C; stay on 6100C to dead end." — paulmedved • Jan 8, 2013
