Access

Same as for Peak 6460. This is the second leg of a two-peak adventure that begins at a road junction along Meadow Creek Road to the south.

Northeast Shoulder/East Ridge, Class 2

The Climb

From the road junction, hike about 100 yards west up a side road (shown on the USGS topo map) to reach the toe of a shoulder. Leave the road and bushwhack west through some thick sagebrush and other brush to reach the crest of the shoulder. Follow the shoulder southwest up easy short grass/scrub to reach the east ridge. Follow the ridge west to the summit on easy, open terrain. There is a game trail on the ridge crest for most of the shoulder and ridge climb. The summit of Peak 6883 has a nice cairn.

Southeast Ridge, Class 2

The Descent

From the summit, descend the east ridge to a junction at 6,600 feet. Descend southeast on a well-defined ridge all the way down to the road junction at Meadow Creek Road and your parked vehicle. This ridge is mostly easy, open scrub/grass but there is a brushy section down low. The ridge weaves a bit and has a few minor humps to go over. Overall, it is a pleasant and straightforward way to return to Meadow Creek Road. There are some game/cattle trails to help in the brushy section near the road.
