Reviews
Browns peak – not an easy hike! I will call it moderate / difficult. The hike itself before climbing is an easy walk, it’s even fun to make it a loop trail if you take Amethyst tr on the way back. Dogs are great for a loop, absolutely not for the top part of the climb.
I would recommend to keep left on the climbing part, there is a fork where some people think it’s easier to climb the right side, but it becomes very technical and with no experience I would not recommend to take the right side route.
Another thing came to mind, on the way down we had a few more groups, climbing with us, and from time to time the stones were flying down towards us. So, for some people, a helmet will be a good idea..
26 mile one way off-road drive will be best with a truck, or an SUV with high clearance and 4wd. The road can take tall on many cars.
Overall, what a beautiful place to see.
