 | Comments: |
Don't let Mt Parker's low altitude (3004) fool you. Total altitude gain is 2557 feet, and if you return the same way, it is 2807. That's because you have to ascend and partially descend Oak Ridge to get to Parker. This is greater than Mt Eisenhower via the Edmonds Path (2750) or Mt Jefferson via Caps Ridge (2700). |
