If this ends up being the finale for 2015, it will have been a grand one! Thanks for the TR and convincing me I could follow you up this thing. I look forward to getting a good look at the route from a distance next time I make it over the pass during daylight hours.
I am hoping someone may have found my keys at the Burgundy Col trailhead on highway 20 about 4 miles east of Washington Pass where there is a wide shoulder/pullout directly across the valley from Silverstar Mt.and Wine Spires.
