The Cricket Mountains High Point is a straightforward hike to a nice viewpoint of Sevier Lake. I came in from the south and the road was passable by any vehicle. From my parking spot, which was just a spot I decided to pull off the road, I started northwest into a minor drainage hugged by small hills on either side. I left the drainage on its right as brush seemed to start encroaching and ascended to the southern ridge of Cricket Mountains High Point on a pleasant slope with easy walking free from brush. Once on the ridge, I started north to the peak. There was some minor Class 2 and minimal tree-dodging to reach the summit, all easy to navigate obstacles.
