Sitgreaves Pass Peak (Peak 4421) 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.

This hike starts at Sitgreaves Pass and ascends to the south along a pleasant Class 2 ridgeline. There are a couple of minor bumps along the way and a couple of small cliff bands to avoid. The final ascent to the summit requires side-hilling along the base of the peak's false summit to reach the minor saddle to the false summit's west. The last hundred feet include some fun Class 2 boulder-hopping to the radio towers, marking the high point. We called this Sitgreaves Pass Peak due to its proximity to Sigreaves Pass, but I believe it's otherwise unnamed.

Close-up toward Sitgreaves Pass Peak. It might be tempting to go directly toward the colorful-looking summit on the left, but this is a false summit. The better option is to do an ascending traverse to the saddle separating the false summit from the true summit (which has the radio towers).
