MOUNT LINEHAM
Elevation:
2730 m
Difficulty: An easy ascent
Round Trip Time: 4-7 hours
Height Gain: 1100 m
Map: 82 G/1 Sage Creek |
Mount Lineham's south aspect presents little more than a steep
walk, although many hikers trudge to the top by the more
circuitous Tamarack trail/west ridge approach. The summit
gives a fine view of Mount Blakiston and the Hawkins Horseshoe
traverse that finishes here. In early season, snow-covered
south slopes are the perfect angle for practicing self-arrest,
and glissading conditions can be tremendous then, too. Try
from about June on. |
