Taco pointed out (in another thread) what appears to be Peak 6857 (point "E" on the linked topo) which is on the horizon on the far right in the below photo. (Click to enlarge)

Looks kind of interesting, particularly since it's waaay at the end of the ridge of Ontario Pk. Looks like a pretty remote peak -- even though it overlooks a major metropolitan area.

Anybody been out there?

Nice.

Hey, easy access from the east. :) It's now on my "list" as are Ross and Copter (never done either) but probably not Lookout. Lookout looks interesting, but I'll bet it would be a real bushwhack fest. :(

Isaac has. He's on here, can't remember his screen name. It's just above Cascade Cyn, so he tagged it on a trip there.

Cascade Canyon? Wow.

Looks gnarly on the map. No drop in from the look of it. You have to ascend the canyon in order to descend it, yes?
