| Park at the Gorman
Lake trailhead, 892877 and follow a well-defined trail to Gorman Lake,
described in Golden
Hikes. Contour the lake's eastern tip, 866884 and
ascend the grassy slopes in a northerly direction until
you gain the ridge. Follow the ridge, heading east to its prominent
summit, 886895. It is possible to extend the ridge walk. |

Minutes away from
the lake, Zombie Peak behind Fab. |
| Scramble: Very
interesting
feeling to be walking on this ridge in misty, gray weather. It was
dreary and I remember it being mild and relatively calm.
Appropriate outing for the conditions, not too long and close to home.
This ridge shoulders Zombie Peak's eastern side. Fab and I had
previously named Zombie Peak after our feline buddy
Bilbo before noticing it had a name (through Bivouac). We had
also named the ridge for our wild kitty
P'tite Crotte which partnered her older fellow feline friend, Bilbo...
So now
you know... |
