Driving directions and route descriptions from HPS site
IronHiker, thank you for adding this peak on SummitPost. Many people have read your contributions to your site, and follow your great hiking blog.
However, please consider rewriting the driving instructions and route description on this page in your own words, based on your own experiences and research.
If you cannot do that, please mention in a more obvious manner that you are copying from the peak guide from the Hundred Peaks Section website. Some people have complained about plagiarism from the HPS site; content copied verbatim, or almost verbatim and posted on SummitPost.
I have less of a problem than some people with this kind of stuff. However, I do think this it is important that pages like these have proper citations. And in this case, you should at least move your citation of the HPS guide up to where the driving directions and route description are. Or mention in text that you are taking the material from the HPS site.

wtchen,
I changed the driving instructions to a link to the HPS page and I rewrote the route description based on my hike as you suggested. The Sierra Club deserves credit for their all their work and publications.
