  3. &lt;br /&gt;
  4. We set off to float from Coal Banks Landing to Judith Landing of the Upper Missouri River, White Cliff Section, wihthin the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument; a state and federal park which is part of the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management.&lt;br /&gt;
  5. &lt;br /&gt;
  6. The Missouri river is the longest river in the United States running over 2,500 miles from Three Forks, Montana to the Missippi River in St. Louis, Missouri. &amp;nbsp;The Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument is 149 miles long and approximately 375,000 acres. &amp;nbsp;The White Cliffs section consists of a 47 mile stretch of river from Coal Banks Landing to Judith Landing&lt;br /&gt;
  7. &lt;br /&gt;
  8. &lt;br /&gt;
  9. &lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  10. &lt;br /&gt;
  11. A stop in the Missouri Breaks Interpretive Center, at 701 7th Street, in the beautiful town of Fort Benton, Montana was quite informative, interpret this how you like. &amp;nbsp;Personnel at this location told me while they have heard people talk of rattlesnakes in the area, she had been out to all the locations along our float and had never seen any rattlesnakes.&lt;br /&gt;
  12. &lt;br /&gt;
  13. Also, they will tell you that the BLM regularly patrols the river, do not bet on it. &amp;nbsp;I am in no way complaining but just to let you know on our four day trip there was no signs of patrol on the river. &amp;nbsp;We also only saw three other float groups (consisting of a total of 7 people) so the lack of patrol could be impacted by the lack of floaters. &amp;nbsp;All of this is probably due to weather conditions at the time, an unusually cloudy and rainy August.&lt;br /&gt;
  14. &lt;br /&gt;
  15. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Coal+Banks+Landing/Judith+Landing+Recreation+Area,+Big+Sandy,+Mt+59520/@47.9583807,-109.9275926,10z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x534032bbf0616a0d:0x7feef059e361eb57!2m2!1d-110.2279854!2d48.0338635!1m5!1m1!1s0x53405e9cebb5d89f:0x5b9d15e90ba132fa!2m2!1d-109.628402!2d47.740845&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Google Maps&lt;/a&gt; shows the drive from Coal Banks to Judith Landing as 55.2 miles and taking two hours!. &amp;nbsp;While approximately 36 miles of this trip are dirt roads, depending on conditions of the road (which I found favorable), the ability of the driver and vehicle I have heard its hypothetically possible to cut this time in half without danger or concern.&lt;br /&gt;
  16. &lt;br /&gt;
  17. While the park is public land there is private land scattered throughout. &amp;nbsp;You will want to stick to the public land and easements, there are plenty to explore.&lt;br /&gt;
  18. &lt;br /&gt;
  19. Please note that it is law (subject to fine and jail time) that if not using the toilets, you are to pack out your own waste with a reusable toilet or approved degradable bag system.&lt;br /&gt;
  20. &lt;br /&gt;
  21. Also, cottonwood trees are everywhere and the limbs of these trees are known to break off without warning. &amp;nbsp;Evidence of this is all over the river banks, check the ground, check the trees, you can&#39;t miss it.&lt;br /&gt;
  22. &lt;br /&gt;
  23. &lt;h3&gt;
  24. &lt;b&gt;Camps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  25. This stretch of the river has developed public access, developed boat, &amp;nbsp;and primitive boat camps. &lt;br /&gt;
  26. &lt;br /&gt;
  27. &lt;b&gt;Developed public access sites&lt;/b&gt; include parking lots, boat ramps, toilets, and campsites. &amp;nbsp;Coal Banks Landing, and Judith Landing are developed public access sites on this stretch of the river.&lt;br /&gt;
  28. &lt;br /&gt;
  29. &lt;b&gt;Developed boat camps&lt;/b&gt; contain toilets and fire rings and are only accessible by boat. &amp;nbsp;You may notice road access at these sites but this road access is for management of the site by the BLM. &amp;nbsp;Developed boat camps include Little Sandy, Eagle Creek, Hole in the Wall, and Slaughter river.&lt;br /&gt;
  30. &lt;br /&gt;
  31. &lt;b&gt;Primitive boat camps&lt;/b&gt; contain fire rings and are only accessible by boat. &amp;nbsp;These sites include Dark Butte, Pablo Rapids, and The Wall. &amp;nbsp;Dark Butte does have composting toilets although at the time (summer 2014) at least one of them was inoperational.&lt;br /&gt;
  32. &lt;br /&gt;
  33. &lt;h3&gt;
  34. River Mile markers&lt;/h3&gt;
  35. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 41.5&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;After a long drive we camped over night at Coal Banks Landing. &amp;nbsp;You will notice the darker colors in the land around here which is lignite coal from where the camp got its name. &amp;nbsp;Lignite comes from naturally compressed peat and is considered the lowest ranking coal due to its low heat content. &lt;br /&gt;
  36. &lt;br /&gt;
  37. There are several campsites here with fire rings, picnic tables, a bathroom, and drinking water. &amp;nbsp;In the morning we registered at the boat ramp and set off in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;
  38. &lt;br /&gt;
  39. This is when I noticed the rattlesnake sign, this coupled with the obligatory talk with the camp host (who stated hiking from hole in the wall camp to the hole in the wall trail is &#39;very snakey&#39;) made me think back to the helpful staff at the Missouri Breaks Interpretive Center in the beautiful town of Fort Benton.&lt;br /&gt;

  41.  
  42. &lt;br /&gt;
  43. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 46.5&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;ABN Ranch, an example of an old homestead, many of which occupy the banks along the river. &amp;nbsp;The only thing there are more of along the trip are cows, I wonder why the waste management law doesn&#39;t apply to the cows?&lt;br /&gt;
  44. &lt;br /&gt;
  45. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 46.7&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Little Sandy developed Boat Camp&lt;br /&gt;
  46. &lt;br /&gt;
  47. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 50&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Terry Ranch&lt;br /&gt;
  48. &lt;br /&gt;
  49. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 52&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;This is where the Wild Classification of the river begins, this is where legally motorboat restrictions begin and the cliffs start to kick in. &amp;nbsp;No upstream motorized use from June 15 to September 15 and downstream use is limited to &quot;no wake speeds&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
  50. &lt;br /&gt;
  51. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 53.5&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Horse Thief Cabin&lt;br /&gt;
  52. &lt;br /&gt;
  53. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 53.7&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Monroe Island. &amp;nbsp;This was our first overnight stop, watch for snakes, and watch for shooting stars and other space activity such as space junk and or satellites, remember planes blink. &amp;nbsp;This site does contain a rock fire ring.&lt;br /&gt;
  54. &lt;br /&gt;
  55. Day 2&lt;br /&gt;
  56. &lt;embed flashvars=&quot;host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;amp;feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2F103545684176058852435%2Falbumid%2F6053092029407123473%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCJWY8ujY-sTzeA%26hl%3Den_US&quot; height=&quot;267&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot; src=&quot;https://photos.gstatic.com/media/slideshow.swf&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;
  57.  
  58. &lt;br /&gt;
  59. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 55&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Burnt Butte &amp;nbsp;You will notice this on the hillside on the left. &amp;nbsp;Please note that while this is public land it is sate land (DNRC) and you can hike and camp on this land if you have a state lands recreations use license.&lt;br /&gt;
  60. &lt;br /&gt;
  61. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 55.7&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Corps of Discovery Campsite. &amp;nbsp;These campsites are found up and down this river and refer to the journeys of Lewis and Clark.&lt;br /&gt;
  62. &lt;br /&gt;
  63. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 56&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Eagle Creek Developed Boat Camp. &amp;nbsp;Originally named Stonewall Creek this campsite is an excellent place to stop and explore. &amp;nbsp;Towards the south of the camp (downstream) there is a path leading east towards the hills, taking this path and staying south leads you through Neat Coulee a narrow canyon with impressive scenery and a break from the sun. &amp;nbsp;In this area there are supposed to be petroglyphs and rock circles, both made by early Natives, due to time and being early in the trip we didn&#39;t continue on to search for these.&lt;br /&gt;
  64. &lt;embed flashvars=&quot;host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;amp;feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2F103545684176058852435%2Falbumid%2F6053092163348339425%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCPy83rCqncq_dg%26hl%3Den_US&quot; height=&quot;267&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot; src=&quot;https://photos.gstatic.com/media/slideshow.swf&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;
  65.  
  66. &lt;br /&gt;
  67. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 56.9&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Grand Natural Wall. &lt;br /&gt;
  68. &lt;br /&gt;
  69. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 57&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Crawford Ranch&lt;br /&gt;
  70. &lt;br /&gt;
  71. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 59.6&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Eagle Rock and Kipp&#39;s Rapids. &amp;nbsp;On the left Eagle Rock appears to be a perched eagle, Kipps rapids may be noticeable but nothing to worry about, nothing in this stretch is over &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Scale_of_River_Difficulty&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Class I&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  72. &lt;br /&gt;
  73. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 62&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Citadel Rock. &amp;nbsp;On the right this rock is one of the most well known along the upper Missouri River. &lt;br /&gt;
  74. &lt;br /&gt;
  75. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 63&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Hole-in-the-Wall Developed Boat Camp. &amp;nbsp;This was our second stop of the trip. &amp;nbsp;This camp contains fire rings and also open shelters consisting of a roof and 3 sides. &amp;nbsp;Another good place to explore, &amp;nbsp;I can tell you there is a geocache here but I wont tell you where as it is too easy to find. &amp;nbsp;I found it accidentally, all I will say is its not at the camp itself. &amp;nbsp;If you look downstream on the same side of the river you will notice hole in the wall, you can&#39;t miss it. &amp;nbsp;You can hike from the campsite or you can float down to the lone tree and hike from there. &amp;nbsp;Unfortunately not knowing what the rest of the trip had in store for exploring, weather, headwinds etc, we did not make this hike.&lt;br /&gt;
  76. &lt;embed flashvars=&quot;host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;amp;feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2F103545684176058852435%2Falbumid%2F6053092907725391633%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCIqQ2Jmvu-LXUg%26hl%3Den_US&quot; height=&quot;267&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot; src=&quot;https://photos.gstatic.com/media/slideshow.swf&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;
  77.

  79. Day 3
  80. &lt;br /&gt;
  81. &lt;embed flashvars=&quot;host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;amp;feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2F103545684176058852435%2Falbumid%2F6053093051350492113%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCJar3_XnlMqfuQE%26hl%3Den_US&quot; height=&quot;267&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot; src=&quot;https://photos.gstatic.com/media/slideshow.swf&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;
  82.  
  83. &lt;br /&gt;
  84. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 68.8&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Dark Butte Primitive Boat Camp - Steamboat Rock &amp;nbsp;Dark Butte has composting toilets and campsites. &amp;nbsp;Behind the camp (to the north / north east) you will notice steamboat rock.&lt;br /&gt;
  85. &lt;br /&gt;
  86. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 69.8&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Dark Butte and Archangel. &amp;nbsp;On the left side of the river these formations are self explanatory.&lt;br /&gt;
  87. &lt;br /&gt;
  88. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 71.3&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Corps of Discovery Campsite&lt;br /&gt;
  89. &lt;br /&gt;
  90. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 72.8&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Pablo Rapids Primitive Boat Camp&lt;br /&gt;
  91. &lt;br /&gt;
  92. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 73.3&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Pablo Rapids and Wolf Island&lt;br /&gt;
  93. &lt;br /&gt;
  94. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 76.8&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  95. &lt;br /&gt;
  96. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 76.8&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Slaughter River Developed Boat Camp. &amp;nbsp;Another Corps of Discovery Campsite which was used multiple times by Lewis and Clark and my understanding this is a wildly popular campsite. &amp;nbsp;This was our third camp of the trip and offered great hiking / exploring opportunities. &amp;nbsp;Just prior to this point the camera died and at night the sky was threatening. &amp;nbsp;The next day we shoved off and made tracks.&lt;br /&gt;
  97. &lt;embed flashvars=&quot;host=picasaweb.google.com&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feat=flashalbum&amp;amp;RGB=0x000000&amp;amp;feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2F103545684176058852435%2Falbumid%2F6053093214457885777%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26authkey%3DGv1sRgCM-KqYyZzPyf_gE%26hl%3Den_US&quot; height=&quot;267&quot; pluginspage=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot; src=&quot;https://photos.gstatic.com/media/slideshow.swf&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;400&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;
  98.

  100. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 77.2&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Arrow Creek&lt;br /&gt;
  101. &lt;br /&gt;
  102. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 80.7&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Flat Rock Riparian Project&lt;br /&gt;
  103. &lt;br /&gt;
  104. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 81.3&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;The Wall Primitive Boat Camp&lt;br /&gt;
  105. &lt;br /&gt;
  106. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 84.5&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Recreational Section of the Wild and Scenic River. &amp;nbsp;This is where the wilds classification of the river ends.&lt;br /&gt;
  107. &lt;br /&gt;
  108. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 84.5&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Deadman Rapids. &amp;nbsp;not even noticeable but apparently in 1837 it was enough to capsize a canoe killing four men.&lt;br /&gt;
  109. &lt;br /&gt;
  110. &lt;b&gt;River Mile 84.5&lt;/b&gt;+ &amp;nbsp;Judith Landing. &amp;nbsp;This is the second and only public access site of the trip. &amp;nbsp;If you are spending the night and continuing to float then bank early, before the bridge around the sign. &amp;nbsp;If this is the end of your float trip then bank after the bridge at the boat ramp.&lt;br /&gt;
  111. &lt;br /&gt;
  112. If you like hiking and exploring, give plenty of time for this trip.&amp;nbsp; The water was mostly shallow and there was no danger what so ever in a LOADED canoe and kayaks. &lt;br /&gt;
  113. &lt;br /&gt;

  122. Lately Western Montana has been locked down with smoke from the MT and Idaho fires. &amp;nbsp;Today looked clear so we headed out on a trip through the Sapphire Mountains from the Bitterroot side down to Rock Creek.&lt;br /&gt;
  123. &lt;br /&gt;
  124. Wahlquist Ridge Trail (No 233) starts out easy enough on a rather large road but quickly disappears about a half a mile in. &amp;nbsp;Bring along or study your GPS / map, if not its still hard to get lost just go east or west. &amp;nbsp;An interesting hike as its downhill then uphill.&lt;br /&gt;

  406. &lt;br /&gt;
  407. Another trip up Trail No. 391 at the Bass Overlook towards Little St. Joseph Peak, this time all the way up to St. Joseph Peak. &amp;nbsp;Overall for us this was not too big, but for the average hiker it could be a dangerous trip.&lt;br /&gt;

  421. &lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  422. &lt;br /&gt;
  423. A note about taking the full trip towards St. Joseph Peak, pay attention to your water supply, during the summer months you will want to refill at approximately 1.5 miles in as that could be your last chance for water. &lt;br /&gt;
  424. &lt;br /&gt;
  425. We were already familiar with the trip up to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mtoutdooradventures.com/2012/06/little-st-joe-bitterroot-selway.html&quot;&gt;Little St. Joseph Peak&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;which itself is a bit strenuous depending on your pace. &amp;nbsp;2.5 miles in topping out at 9055ft we had a good view of what was to come.&lt;br /&gt;
  426. &lt;br /&gt;
  427. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  429. &lt;br /&gt;
  430. Coming down the peak of Little St. Joe we hit the aptly named &quot;Devil&#39;s Crotch&quot;. &amp;nbsp;Anyone around 5&#39; or under &amp;nbsp;could have difficulty making it past this point. &amp;nbsp;Not sure if your four legged friends could proceed.&lt;br /&gt;

  437. There is a ridge connecting Little St. Joseph to St. Joseph which can be seen from the valley floor if you are south of Little St. Joseph. &amp;nbsp;It&#39;s a nice break before the true climb.&lt;/div&gt;

  469. This is where the fun begins. &amp;nbsp;There were talks of skirting the edge of the rock outcroppings but we found it much easier to stay low until towards the end where there is a steep yet clearly manageable path towards the top. &amp;nbsp;This was the most strenuous part of the hike, a&amp;nbsp;420 foot scramble at 78% grade.&amp;nbsp;This is approximately 1.9 miles from Little St. Joseph Peak.&lt;/div&gt;
  470. &lt;br /&gt;
  471. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

  478. &lt;br /&gt;

  518. Classified as a &#39;difficult&#39; this offers great views of Canyon Falls along with Canyon and Wyant Lake but be prepared to run into other hikers.&lt;br /&gt;

  525. &lt;small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  526. At 8am there were already several cars in the parking lot which is for hiking both Canyon Creek Trail and the Blodgett Canyon Overlook. &lt;br /&gt;

  530. &lt;br /&gt;
  531. The trail starts off easy for the first 3 miles although it is a little rocky and you will want to watch your step. &amp;nbsp;There are ups and downs, in the woods towards Canyon Creek then peaking back out to the rock walls towards the North, saying hello to the passers by. &amp;nbsp;For this stretch with an average grade of 9% we averaged around 2mph and gained 1440ft in elevation. &lt;br /&gt;
  532. &lt;br /&gt;

  548. &lt;br /&gt;
  549. For the next half a mile you start heading up, with an average 35% grade we gained 900ft and averaged .9 mph. &amp;nbsp;Once at the top you flatten out a bit and skirt the rock face heading West with minimal views of the falls. &amp;nbsp;At this point you reach approximately 7385ft in elevation and start heading back down towards the lake. &lt;br /&gt;
  550. &lt;br /&gt;

  556. &lt;br /&gt;
  557. Almost a half mile later, losing 140ft while then gaining back 77ft you reach the East side of Canyon Lake at an altitude of 7323ft. &lt;br /&gt;

  570. &lt;br /&gt;
  571. We followed the trail along the North side of the lake heading and then uphill towards the North West when we decided to get creative heading up towards Wyant Lake. &amp;nbsp;We picked our way across the East facing rocks above Canyon Lake and made above Wyant Lake approximately 1500ft North of Wyant Lake. &amp;nbsp;This can be tricky, wet, and steep so pay attention, at one point it took us 18 minutes to travel 128ft while gaining 126ft for a 101% grade&amp;nbsp;topping out at 7857ft. &lt;br /&gt;
  572. &lt;br /&gt;

  575. &lt;br /&gt;
  576. Wyant Lake is very nice and appears to be more secluded, but don&#39;t be surprised when you run into more hikers. &amp;nbsp;Great views of the surrounding points, Canyon Lake and the valley below.&lt;br /&gt;

  598. &lt;br /&gt;
  599. On the way back down we decided to come down the rocks due West of Canyon Lake which was less tricky but still segments show anywhere from a -59% to -23% grade. &amp;nbsp;Bushwhacking part way around the North side of Canyon Lake we meed back up the the trail and follow it to the stream connecting to East Lake. &lt;br /&gt;

  609. From here we headed for the top of Canyon Falls. &amp;nbsp;From the top views through to the valley below are impressive, but the camera angles weren&#39;t quite there so we decided to climb down the large rock field along the North side of the Falls to reach the bottom. &lt;br /&gt;

  717. &lt;br /&gt;
  718. The hike is classified as &#39;strenuous&#39; by many books but&amp;nbsp;didn&#39;t&amp;nbsp;feel bad although we&amp;nbsp;couldn&#39;t&amp;nbsp;make it to the top. &amp;nbsp;We pulled 2.4 miles with an elevation gain of 2417ft (from 5771 ft to 8194 ft) and an average grade of 19.2%. &amp;nbsp;Gash Point is listed at approximately 8860 ft and a total length of approximately 7 miles but my topo maps show that we were approximately .6 of a mile from the peak (as the crow flies). &lt;br /&gt;

  815. &amp;nbsp;A climb to the top of the hill overlooking the lake was relatively easy but required some climbing at times.  The first 1/10th mile shows an approximate 67% grade easing to a 46% grade towards the top, with a 10% grade reaching the tallest point.  I can&#39;t say we took the easiest route but taking what looked to be the easier way down shows a 58-63% grade.  The northern peak above the lake has views of an intermittent pond to the north, while the tallest point towards the south has impressive views of fuse lake and the mountains to the east.&lt;br /&gt;
