American Peak is an out-and-back followed by traversing Jones Mountain and descending to our cars. The possibility exists for a third peak after Jones at similar height. 4WD HC vehicles required or our route is extended by 3 miles . Strong hikers only, please.
Carpool $13 + $5 for 4WD. Limit 10. No dogs.
