Bighorn Peak

Mike and I went for a quick hike to Big Horn Peak today. Originally we were going to hike to Ontario peak via falling rock canyon, but changed our minds, not wanting to climb the first hour of the canyon in the dark. From Ice house Saddle we took the ridge directly to Big Horn, breaking trail most of the way from the saddle to the peak. It was about 40 on the summit with a light wind. There were a few old snow shoe track here and there, but looks like not many people have been to this peak in a while. On the way down, below Ice house saddle, the ice was treacherous almost all the way to the parking lot. Both Mike and I took a dive within a mile of the parking lot.
