"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Incredible!Not only are you one of the premier sources on Summitpost, but you have published guides, such as the one listed on this site, and you are quoted at the bottom of Summitpost. (Your quote: No, I will not drive across Colorado to visit the highpoint of Kansas. What do you think I am, crazy?) I must say that in some ways I am jealous of your incredible service to this site and your love for the outdoors. And the only reason I clicked on Hoyt Peak is because Hoyt is my mothers maiden name. So, anyway, how do you get to the point where you are able to publish guides?

viva obscure placesI'll probably never get there, but few people ever get to "my" mountains, either!

Winter accessibilityJust a few notes. Both Paulsen and White Pine are popular with the 'bilers. If you are lucky, you may not see many snowmachines but their tracks are almost a given. Swifts beyond Movie Cabins is a narrow trail and few snowmobiles venture there.
Also South Fork road is plowed to the last cabins, maybe as far as 3 miles up the creek, but there are no good winter parking options. Anyway there is usually enough snow and ice on the roadbed for a good glide to the highway!
