| Park at the Gorman
Lake trailhead, 892877 and follow a well-defined trail to Gorman Lake,
described in Golden
Hikes.
Hike around the lake, the south shore is quickest and continue into the
draw. Head in a south-west direction, veering left to gain
the col between Eos Peak and Dawn Mountain,
862973. The south-west slopes are easily climbed to the top, 874872. |

Still very snowy up
here, the back of the draw in view, (picture taken a week earlier on a
trip up Zombie). |
| Scramble: This
region lends
itself to fairly easy scrambling. The Gorman Lake trailhead at 1800 m.
combined
with the nice trail, make this an ideal area for peak
bagging! We dropped down 200 m. from the col to leave our overnight
gear (Dawn attempt the
following
day). Very nice worry-free trip up a tall local mountain. |
