Description
A hike to an unique hill on the Bonaparte Plateau
- Meet at Westsyde Shopping Center at 9:00 to carpool/convoy
- A longer drive to the trailhead – Westsyde Road, Jamieson Creek FSR, Windy Lake FSR, and Skoatl FSR
- Article on the hike – Skoatl Point Hike
- Hike through a burn, past a backcountry lake, then scramble up a volcanic basalt core to the summit
- Lunch on top, then return by the same route
- This is not a hike for everyone. It is in a very remote area and the route is a bit rougher, then the climb has some exposure, scrambling up a series of ledges. I have done this hike many times, and everyone has survived so far, but it is an adventure.
