I struggled to understand all of the approaches and descents so here's another beta photo

Lone Peak from the top of the Lowe Route during sunset!

Start of the Alpine trail

Alpine approach. Looking down where the start of the gully is. Second Hamongog, is just left of the pine trees. If your going down, this is where the trail leaves the gully and goes left.

This guy was buzzing around us as we were topping out the Lowe Route.

Entering the Cirque.

Nothing better than waking up in the cirque to this view!

4 hours to the summit up Jacob's Ladder

I found this tree to be key beta for the Alpine approach (which is a bit confusing near the top). I have done both Alpine and Jacob's Ladder and really can't figure out which is worse. . .

Some info about Lone Peak. <br>
(To some locals the peak is called Mt. Jordan after their high school's name.)

Nice day in the cirque

Alpine approach. Go right and up here looking for the 8' tall dead tree stump. This is where the trail forks, not far from the 2nd Hamongog.
