Strenuous day hike to a lesser-known peak in the Middle Fork area. Great views of the area if weather allows.

  • Strenuous
  • Challenging
  • Mileage: 12.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 4,000 ft

2. Make it to the top of Thompson Point

3. Learn something

Expectations for trip participants:

1. Practice Leave No Trace principles.
