Description

This is a much easier alternative to the other line on Paiute, although it gets hit by the sun at the same time as the rest of the mountain.

It's lower consequence, however. Take the Mitchell Lake Trail to Little Blue Lake.

Going southwest, make your way over rocky patches to the base of the slope.

Put in a bootpack wherever you deem necessary until you reach the nice platform at the top of the line.

Should you wish to reach the summit of this 13er, follow the ridgeline north.

Depending on the season, this upper section *may* be skiable.
