Chukkar Pk (6, 628) / Deer Pk (7,004) Feb 21, 2009

TomG's had his eye on these two peaks for weeks, but weather has not been cooperating. But today was the day...I joined him and some folks from the KRVHC for these two peaks and a side trip to the wreck of a Piper Cub. An all day cloud cover kept the temperatures cool. Registers indicate slightly different elevations than the topo (Chukkar 6610, Deer 6989). Got into some knee deep snow in a couple places and the descent off the north slope had everyone slipping and sliding in the snow. Had fun intermittently glissading on the snow through the sage! Six hour RT drive, just about eight hours on the mountain, 4000 ft elevation gain, old and new hiking buddies... great day!
