    Lightner peak
    Great hike. Tough to find actual summit without Gaia App. Summit log is in a red can. Nice out and back, but lots of elevation gain, and not considered an Easy one.

    Beautiful area, but very busy with people. Wheeling is easy, my father-in-law’s 2x4 stock Cherokee made it all the way to the meadow.

    Powers Peak
    It is very isolated area, so I ran into very few people on the mountain. I admit it does feel moderate until the last 0.6 miles. And it definitely switches to hard on the last maybe .2 miles. There is a plaque and a summit register at the top.
