Made a lovely lollipop loop to all 3 mountains with hubby. Gorgeous day and wildflowers! Could not get the summit register open on any of these peaks, apparently getting wimpy in old age.

Oliphant
The wife and kids were out of town for the weekend, so it was time for another solo climb. Mount Oliphant was chosen this time. Church got out at 2 pm, so I left home after eating lunch and packing and arrived at the trailhead at 3:30 PM. There were high clouds, but I had great weather all the way to the summit and back. The summit register only had two other signatures in more than five years, so the mountain isn’t climbed that often. I saw two bald eagles, deer and almost stepped on a little porcupine. It was a great climb.
