 For both hikes, I started at the end of the 4x4 roads just after sunrise, at 47F. The magenta route is my guess for a better route to the western peaks. |
 The map of First Creek Overlook shows it probably has ~194+/-10' prominence... |
 ...whereas Major Decision and 6587 probably have > 200' prominence |
 zoom out for context. |
 After starting the blue route on Oct 21, I came across desert 4 o'clocks. |
