Jubilee Mountain GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

Jubilee Mountain is a brown hump that most people just drive past on their way into Death Valley National Park, but it's big enough that I felt the need to hike it deep in my gut after passing it many times on my way into the park. I started from Jubilee Pass and headed south up a steep and loose Class 2 slope, then followed the pleasant ridge up to Jubilee Mountain. There are hints of a social/animal trail along the ridge crest, but it's mostly just easy walking on rocky terrain. This is a short hike to a nice viewpoint of lower elevations to the south, but is otherwise sort of a forgettable peak.
