Jul 22, 2021 — I parked at a pull-out at what I believe is the trailhead for Dorset Mountain. I don't think it's legal to drive farther up the road, but I'm not sure. I continued on foot, the first mile or so really easy road walking. Then the road started to deteriorate and became progressively more steep after crossing a creek. The road continued up to the saddle on Dorset Mountain's west side. From here, I turned right and headed up more steep road to the saddl eof Dorset Mountain's east and west summits. The west summit has the remains of a fire tower and a somewhat nice view, while the east summit is the high point and has no views, but some nice lush greenery.
