Fawn Peak as viewed from the north
Access
Primary access to this peak is from the Deer Creek Pass Road/FS-279 which, in turn, can be reached from the Wet Creek/Pass Creek Road [(A)(5) on Page 289] to the north or from Deer Creek Road/FS-277 to the south. FS-527 leaves the Deer Creek Pass Road roughly 0.5 miles southeast of Deer Creek Pass. Follow this road south until you reach an unmapped road that leads east to a saddle below Fawn Peak’s south face. This is 4WD country.
South Face, Class 2
The peak’s south face is a quick scramble from the road’s end. All you have to do is zig and zag through mountain mahogany and ascend 300 feet. There is a nice view from the top and, surprisingly, cell phone coverage.
