I hiked this mountain with a roomie back in 2010. What a great hike. Only for a quarter of the distance up the trail will you find a discernable path, the rest of the way is marked by rock pile markers, and it gets kind of wild near the top. I didn't know it at the time, but this hike was really a milestone in my life, where my path could've went different ways. I had worked over eight years at one company, had a little over ten years left at that company at the time, and I could've begun and finished college, could've changed my entire life trajectory in different ways. It was kind of spiritual moment or life denouement experience. The roomie I had at the time was in a lost phase, didn't know what to do with his life, but he offered me a room for 300 bucks a month. I lived with him two years and boy I could've done different things with my life back in those days rather than all the partying. This roomie I had back then found his path, but it took him a long time of soul searching, and he's living his destiny, a good one as a licensed travel teacher. Hike this mountain not for the fun but for its memory because the whole experience really has sat on my conscience even after 14 years! You might find out names in the logbook up there on the top, we also drew some funny pictures.
Sadly, the mailbox at the summit is repeatedly removed, but usually someone else replaces it soon after. So, there is no log book going back that far. I also find the mountains to be a place of inspiration and contemplation where life comes into greater focus. Glad this hike meant so much to you. Will you return one day?
“ I’m at peace with it”, “ I’m no longer at peace with it “, lmao! You ladies would be so much fun to hike with! The dance moves at the peak we’re, we’ll, dance moves. Let’s leave it at that.Haven’t done Picketpost in decades , don’t really have plans to revisit it either. By the way, yes, that’s exactly how one twerks! Happy Hiking!
Awesome hike! This one is on our list! Thank you for sharing your experience & the views along the way. Very helpful! Glad we found your channel! Happy hiking! 👍
It's kind of tricky, in spots, so it's good to know ahead of time what to expect. Such a great hike, and I hope you can get to it soon. The weather is perfect for it!

Yay! You found the mailbox! The views look great!
It's back! Last time, there was no mailbox. So glad someone else hauled one up there to replace it. It's kinda fun.
