This was my second hike up Picketpost Mountain to the 4,378 foot summit. It had been so enjoyable and challenging I wanted to do it again. My hike was 5.3 miles round-trip, and it took me 5 hours and 39 minutes.
The top is a fairly large mesa with a few false peaks. The mountain is composed entirely of volcanic rocks, which include rhyolitic lava, tuff, and lava flows of quartz latite composition.
