I am planning to scramble up McNeeley Peak early Saturday morning and am posting this as a Mountaineers trip just in case there are at least two other people who may be interested in joining me. I am not interested in any other nearby peaks at this time because I am flying to NYC early Sunday and need to get home at a reasonable hour to pack (plus, I have done all of the others).
This sounds like a straightforward, easy scramble with some potential bushwhacking. It might be a good one for students who are still need a rock scramble to graduate. We'll stay together as a team, sticking to a pace of around 1000'/hour if needed.
If you have time on Saturday, you may want to look into other hikes in the area that you could add to this after we are done. Because this is only 5 miles round trip, we will likely be returning to our cars before noon.
