플루마스 카운티‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 산 정상

Making it to the top of Eureka Peak is worth the effort. You'll find incredible views of the surrounding peaks and valleys including Mount Washington and the Sierra Buttes. Be aware, some parts of the trail can be a bit rocky so be sure footed as you make your way to the peak.

Up a small offshoot from the main trail, you'll feel on top of the world looking down upon the Lakes Basin area. The summit is a small area with almost 360 degree views. If you're not feeling up to hiking to the top, there are plenty of views along the main trail that traverses the ridge below the summit.

Down a short path from the PCT, the summit of Spanish Peak offers views for as far as the eye can see. On a clear day, looking east, you can see Quincy and beyond.

The Mount Harkness Fire Lookout sits on the summit of Mount Harkness. The lookout has been in operation since its construction in 1930. Seasonal staff stationed at the lookout continue the vigil today and are often available to answer visitor questions and demonstrate fire lookout techniques. At an elevation over 8,000 feet, Mount Harkness provides excellent views of the park and distant mountain ranges.

From the unnamed summit of the ridge, that often stays snow-covered into late July, the view to the west ranges across a basin of many lakes, with Round Lake in the foreground, Big Bear and others further east.

The side trail to Butt Mountain was completely destroyed by the Dixie Fire in 2021. The area is very dusty from the ashes.

The PCT balances for a couple of miles on the mostly treeless sharp spine of the ridge, or weaves back and forth along the contour tust below the peaks, with sweeping views to all sides.

Though only marked on OSM/kommot since 2020/2021, a one-mile fairly level trail has long branched off here to Butt Mountain summit. After storms or wildfire you might have to navigate around fallen tree debris for a while until cleared.
