Onion Valley to Mount Gould?
Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2007 6:16 pm
Do people hike up Mount Gould much from Onion Valley? Is the view very good from the top of that peak?....it seems like it would have to be.
I was just curious because I hiked to Kearsarge Pass last week and was almost tempted to try to go another 1200 feet or so to the top of Gould. I was wondering if people do it often or if there is much exposure, etc....it looked like it wasn't that steep, but it was over a lot of somewhat loose rocks/scree.
I did hike up 200 feet of it just so I could be at over 12K for the first time ever. That involved some slightly loose rocks, but nothing major...does it get any worse or is it basically the same the rest of the way up? I loved the Kearsarge Pass hike, so it'd be fun to return to do that again someday and add Gould at the end if it is reasonable.
