Hickey Trail to Squaw Peak summit
Monument Mountain, or at least the Squaw Peak portion of it, had been on my to do list ever since seeing it whilst skiing at Butternut in early 2003. On account of time or weather I had skipped this hike in my previous trips to this region. A combination of lack of energy, lack of time, and poor weather pushed me into doing this somewhat short hike on Christmas Day.
