Hike Description:East Fork Peak provides stunning views of the northern part of the proposed Scotchman Peaks Wilderness. This hike starts off with minimal elevation gain the first couple miles, then becomes steep for about 3 miles. The total is about 8.5 miles round trip with about 3,000 foot vertical gain.
