Dirty Harry's Peak, Dirty Harry's Balcony — Sunday, Jun. 15, 2025

Arrived around 1 and found parking, albeit on the road - lot was still full. We were some of the last folks heading up at that time, though, so it was a peaceful ascent even before we reached the junction for the peak. Thank you to the WTA crew that was out working on what looked like a part of a climbing loop off the main trail. 

We enjoyed great solitude on the steep climb up to the peak, passing just a few folks, and took in the awesome, sheer view of Lower Granite Lake from above. On the way down, we made a quick stop at the balcony and a couple of the lookouts before a much-appreciated legs- and knees-soak at the bottom. All in all, an afternoon well spent!
