Hiking Route: Head north to a natural saddle just east of point 2176 and then turn east up the slopes. At the top of the ridge near point 014 head north descending across pine-covered terrain. You'll go through a small drainage and up thicker, wooded slopes to point 009. Head east around the end of the big canyon on the west side of Badger and go toward the antenna on the northern summit. The highpoint is south at the end of the ridge. The round-trip distance is about 4.8 miles with a gain of about 1100 feet. It took me two hours to reach the top. 4/13 RLC There is a good report by Dean Molen on summitpost.
