I decided to repeat last weeks trek up Granite Lakes Rd.. Instead of going towards Thompson Lake like last week I continued on climbing on the road. I continued on until I reached the cabin that is due west of point 5124. The cabin's door was at least 15 feet above ground. To enter the cabin you would have to climb two sets of pegs that were driven in the structure. I sure wouldn't want to sleep walk in this cabin. I then headed due east a short ways to reach Pt. 5124. Great views of Gifford Lakes and Russian Butte in between cloud breaks. There is very little snow, I would say snowshoes are hardly needed.
Trip stats 18+ miles 4400 ft of climb 6:15 total time.
