How a 70-mile Backpacking Trip Taught My 3 Kids They Can Do Difficult Things

"After a celebratory summit on a sunny morning, the party was quickly hit by a sudden storm that brought rain and dangerous lightning while they were exposed above the treeline. Faced with the well-known hazard of lightning at high elevations, they covered their packs, debated whether to shelter, and made the split-second decision to descend rapidly. The descent involved traversing fast-moving creeks and slick rocks using trekking poles for footing, encouraging their youngest to keep moving, and feeling intense relief once they reached safer terrain." - Wendy Altschuler

Beautiful views of the Ansel Adams Wilderness from the top. An easy ascent if you approach from the Northwest side of the summit. We started from more due West and it was all talus for a good portion. Doable, but a challenge!

I could not find the class one route up this mountain, but the way I went was class two and pretty fun. This peak has nice views and a convenient location between Donohue Pass and some gorgeous alpine meadows above Lyell Canyon.
