Scrambled Whitechuck Peak with Gretchen, Jack, Anna, Grace, Susan and Peter. The drive itself was adventurous, with more than an hour on logging roads, leading all the way up to 4500 ft, leaving the hike/scramble itself to be rather short (~2 hours to the summit).

Even though the areas you drive through are actively logged, the trail passes above that and it is quite pleasant with views most of the way as it goes close to the ridge.

| Coming out to the basin. The trail heads up the first major gully above the trees, which at first looks impossibly steep. |
 |
| Halfways up the gully, the "trail" heads out right onto ledges and continues on ledges and heather all the way to the summit. At you can see we had some excellent views along the way. |

| Summit! |

| Once we had packed up and were heading down, the clods parted and we got some views . |
