May 18, 2021 — Headlight Mountain is a smaller summit south of the Cricket Mountains High Point. It's got similar views, but a slightly steeper route. I came from the south and the road was passable by any vehicle. I approached via the most direct spur ridge that jut out to the east, mostly due to convenience. I would say the hike could be made more interesting if you try ascending from the longer, northern ridge, since it would give you more views for longer. Assuming you head up the way I did, expect some very minor Class 2 and otherwise just a couple of steep slopes. It's pretty straightforward, and the views west toward Sevier Lake are really nice.
