Junction Hill
Details
This hike starts with a steady, steep climb to the ridge, and considered fairly challenging. We will plan to hike the loop counter-clockwise. There will be a little very easy scrambling. Once on the ridge it is a level ridge walk, though the trip report from the 3rd indicated knee deep snow on the top.
