Wow! This was HARD! Killer up hill to Maggie’s Half Acre backpacking camp. Arrived well after dark. Summited the next morning & signed the geocache log (such as it is- something has been at it and shredded all the paper to bits. Probably a mouse). Whomever said this was not a high prominence peak on AllTrails, didn’t know what they were looking at. All the peaks can be seen from here (Sizer is hidden by Mt. Hamilton), plus-on a clear day in winter- The Sierra were visible.
Hike back is quite easy comparatively. I was chased by a cow protecting her calf.

  1. It was 12 Miles and 6:20 (moving time) to Maggie’s Half Acre and then my tracking gps went haywire and I don’t have an accurate track for the return, but it should be about 12.5 miles and it was probably 4:30 moving time- maybe less.

  2. Actually I read the track wrong: it was 6:20 total time from the trailhead to Maggie’s. 4:37 moving time. I started a little before 3pm.
