I’ve had pretty bad altitude sickness in the past so I was prepared to turn around at any point on the trip up. Luckily, by the time we got to the end of White Mountain Road, both Kel and I felt great. I attribute this to camping at Grandview and hiking Clem Nelson before gaining additional altitude. We do live at sea level so….. The hike to Piute Mountain was pretty straight forward; about 3 miles round trip and 1k feet of gain. You can pretty much see the summit from the parking area, just walk straight up to it. We picked a good day to be there. A slight breeze with a temperature in the low 70’s. It was perfect. Worked 40M, 20M CW, even got a 2M FM contact up there. https://sotl.as/summits/W6/WH-003 Tue, 02 Jun 2026 22:09:57 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://video.benmook.com https://video.benmook.com/lazy-static/avatars/298a662a-dfdd-4a9f-b98f-8ffd38337b70.png https://video.benmook.com/videos/watch/744accae-d12c-469d-bb58-7268e4411248 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://video.benmook.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
