Starting up the Pacific Crest Trail, looking back toward the Walker Pass Campground.

Along the PCT, headed into the basin to the north of Scodie Mountian. You can't see the actual high point because its farther back, hidden.


Looking back as I head west on the PCT.

The PCT heads behind the hill visible center. This hill is north of Scodie Mountain.


Approaching a saddle.

Looking back from the saddle before going behind the hill.

The PCT heads south.

Looking back.

Scodie Mountain's northern ridge becomes visible ahead.

Looking back the way I came.

Entering a more forested section, still on the PCT.

Looking north-ish toward Owens Peak along the PCT.

Eventually, the PCT enters a forested section and starts heading west. Instead, I went up a social trail in a gully.

Looking down the social trail back the way I came.

Scodie Mountian visible ahead.

Painless bushwhack through the mostly open ridgeline.

Scodie Mountain ahead. There are lots of ways to work along the ridgeline to the summit.

Last bit before Scodie Mountain.


Scodie Mountain summit, looking northwest back along the ridge I came from.

Scodie Mountain, looking north toward Owens Peak.

Scodie Mountain, view south.

I headed back along the ridge for a bit and located a drainage leading northwest.

Most of the drainage looks like this it's steep. Great for an easy descent.

The drainage mellows out and heads through a pretty wash.


Eventually, the wash leads back to the PCT.
