Apr 13, 2020 — Just across the street from the NPS-advertised Teutonia Peak Trail, Kessler Peak is often overlooked. I parked along a decent dirt road at a campsite and headed east toward the peak. Some light bushwhacking through desert shrubs led me to the northwest ridge, where I stumbled on a social trail. The social trail generally stayed along the ridgeline, keeping to the right to avoid some rockiness about halfway up. The last bit from the false summit to the true summit is steeper than the rest of the hike, but a social trail helped keep it very low Class 2.

If you find my site helpful, please help me replace my many broken cameras, fund my website fees (hosting, APIs, security), or just support my countless hours of work. I pay for all expenses myself, and all trip reports I post are unpaid and unsponsored, so any support is really appreciated!
