Thompson Point 5124 via Granite Creek Road-Trail
Ian and I parked at the Mailbox Peak trailhead and rode our mountain
bikes up the North Fork Road onto the gated Granite Creek Road-Trail.
We ditched the bikes shortly before we got to the Granite Lakes
intersection (where the picnic tables are), after this the road was
consistently covered with snow. At the start of the Thompson Lake
trail (#1009A) was the first particularly scenic spot on this trip, we
took a break for lunch here. We continued on the logging roads past
the trail and up to Thompson Point 5124. There was an excellent view
of Kaleetan Peak where the logging road meets the ridge just south of
Thompson Point 5124. At this point I slogged up the snowy, logged-out
south side of Thompson Point 5124 while Ian waited below.
