Peak 9947, Cow Hill & Boardshack Knoll
August 16, 2014


Peak 9947


Sign at the road junction


The old track that I hiked


Nearing the top of the first ridge


The summit across the way


Southwest view toward Peak 9913


Almost at the top


The top is in the trees


Looking back toward the ridge I ascended


Hiking down. My truck is barely visible down there. Peak 9913 is in view


Peak 9913, a.k.a Cow Hill


Lower road through the forest


Road starts to break into the open and get steeper


The steepest part where the road leaves the trees and enters onto the upper ridge


And the summit isn't that far away


Stick Scott at the top


Looking south toward Mount Baldy


Boardshack Knoll


Initial hike into the trees


Approaching the top...


...closer...


And we're there


Returning to my truck
