Hazards of Note:   If there is no snow this small peak on the west side of the lake is not easily accessible due to shrubs and manzanita. Crowd Factor:   Moderate.  On weekends the chalet will be used but parking is for anyone. General Notes: Views of Loon Lake and Tells Peak from the small summit are well worth the effort to get here.  If you decide to access the summit from the backside, you can climb up past Berts Lake to reach the viewpoint area.
