One of two peaks on a massive North-South ridgeline, North Massacre Peak is seldom climbed. Climb this peak in conjunction with a climb of Massacre Mountain. Use the link below to read about John Platt’s marathon peak climbing adventure that includes both Massacre peaks. The route in the book begins along the Long Lost Creek Road which provides the shortest access. An alternative is from Burnt Creek, which is located north of the summit. Use Buck Springs Road [(A)(6.2) on Pages 290-291] to reach this starting point. Please note that Buck Springs Road is incorrectly identified in the book as Burnt Creek Road. The route from Buck Springs Road is a long Class 2 hike to the summit. USGS Massacre Mountain
