Some snow up there today, more than we expected from the rains in Scottsdale Thursday night. Loads of cars in the parking lot with 10, more than I’ve seen. Was so amazing to get up close and personal with Brown’s Peak!!

Easy from a hike’s perspective, not a hard workout. But very difficult from a skills perspective, required to scramble a long section through the chute to reach the summit. Dangerously vertical at some points. This is not a beginners type scramble. The 360 views are stunning from the top.

We did this hike on 2/16/19 and the trailhead was open.
This is an excellent hike with unique terrain compared to the surrounding areas, due to it's higher elevation. We took our dogs and so only hiked to the saddle and enjoyed views of the peak. It was chilly and a tiny bit of snow was falling.
