South Tarryall Peak

The trail begins at the Spruce Grove campground and follows Lizard Rock Trail #628 to its junction with Hankins Pass Trail #630. Immediately as you begin Lizard Rock, there will be a footbridge crossing over a stream and then a large boulder passage. The trail initially runs parallel to private property so mind the fence. Turn onto Hankins Pass Trail #630 (hang a right at the junction) and follow the trail for approximately 1.5 miles until you reach a clearing with multiple trails to pick from. At this clearing, head south, the opposite direction of Lake Park Trail, towards a large rock formation. At the rock, stick to the right and begin to circle around to its other side (south), but don't go too far--just follow the edge of the rock and continue south, essentially. Once you've made your way past the rock, you should see the peak off in the distance, and it's time to start climbing. Continue south, ascending into the forest for approximately 900' at which time you'll find yourself on top of the saddle leading to the peak. Head west and you'll very quickly (within a few tenths of a mile) escape the forest and find yourself at the base of the peak. From here it's just another 100-200 feet of scrambling up to reach the peak which stands at approximately 11,200 ft.

South Tarryall Peak was used in the 1960s by the then named United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (Now National Geodetic Survey) for survey purposes of the area. The peak has two markers branding the USC&GS name, though the equipment once used is no longer present.
