Ed_Hobbick Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I've been wanting to do that for years. Possibly next Thursday, is it a one day trip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eplanajr Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Given an early start I believe so. It would be quite the slog. 17 miles round trip plus the climb... Â From Summit Post: http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock/151837/cruiser-mount.html From Staircase rangers station hike 8 miles to Flapjack lakes with a 3,200-foot elevation gain in the last 4 miles. From Flapjack Lakes, take the 1.4-mile trail toward Glady's Divide, turn right and ascend the 700-ft chute to a notch in the ridge crest. This is called needles pass. Traverse east on the left side of the chute for 50ft. Then turn to the north and ascend to the ridge crest. Follow on the West Side of the ridge northeasterly for 1/8 mile. Then cross to the East Side and descend a gully. You should see Mt. Cruiser as pictured when you descend the gully. At bottom of gully walk to base of climb.
