HIKING ROUTE 2

See the Butterfly Peak guide for climbing Route 1.
From the summit of Butterfly Peak, hike down the southeast ridge to the 4WD road below.
Follow this road east and then southeast to where it crosses a creek bed. Just past the creek is a road junction.
Follow the 4WD road northeast up to a saddle at 5920'+ where it intersects the PCT.
Turn right and follow the trail south through a gate. Just past the gate is the trail junction on Route 1. Follow the instructions for Route 1 to the summit.

On the return trip, retrace your steps to where you first intersected the 4WD road southeast of Butterfly Peak. Continue up the road to its end at the point marked "Prospect" on the map. Contour west from here into a gully. Go over a small rise and intersect the ducked trail of Butterfly Peak Route 1. Follow this route back down to the parking area.
