May 24, 2018 — The long and somewhat pretty Upper Bristlecone Trail takes you from Lee Canyon along a ridge to the base of McFarland Peak, with views of Charleston Peak and Mummy Mountain. When the trail starts to descend, look out for a gully that leads up some Class 2, with one Class 2+ section, to the summit rim of McFarland Peak. You can make the scramble harder, but if you're on sustained Class 3, there's an easier way. On the way back, Divide Peak is just along the ridgeline, and has some nice views and easy bagging potential, if you're into that sort of thing.
Please consider helping me out if you find my site useful. I'm not sponsored, so all site fees are out-of-pocket and my time preparing these trip reports is unpaid. You can also hire me as a web developer. I really appreciate it!
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!

My site is free to use, but consider sending me a few bucks to help keep it running. Thanks in advance!
