Peak 6702 is located in the Chesterfield Range on the west side of Corral Creek Road. It sits at the head of the Negro Creek drainage and west of the Blackfoot River and Blackfoot Reservoir. ATV trails help in climbing the east ridge, but the final 300 vertical feet of brush-bashing is not fun. USGS Grizzly Creek

The Climb

From the road junction, hike south up the Negro Creek ATV Trail for about 0.5 miles to an unsigned junction. Go right/west up another ATV trail that climbs up the east ridge. Follow this trail up to an unsigned junction on an east shoulder high up. Leave the ATV trail here and bash your way west up through thick brush to reach the open summit. The summit has a decent cairn but there is a lot of thick brush right up to, and around, the summit cairn. The high point is at the south end of an elongated ridge crest.
