Intermediate level hike this is an alternative way to go to Shaw mountain(aka Lucky Peak). The trailhead parking is before the chevron station at the top of the hill. There is room for lots of vehicles so we will not need to do a carpool for this hike. I did this hike a couple of weeks ago and never saw anyone on the trail until it connected with the main trail to Shaw mountain. The beginning of this hike is steeper than the main trail. The overall mileage will be just short of 10 miles and about 2700 feet of elevation gain.moving time will be about 4 and a half hours we will take a short break at the one mile mark or so. Then another break at the summit for snacks and views maybe about a half an hour or so. There are no restrooms at the trailhead. If you need a little better directions to the trailhead use all trails and look up Highland Valley Summit. It is a large trailhead parking area maybe 500ft before you get to the chevron station. It will be on the left hand side of the .
