Route Description for Maiden Peak from Deer Park Campground
Maiden Peak from Deer Park Campground is a gorgeous hike when the sky is clear, and it lets you bag two summits in one go. This hike is moderately challenging and can be hot on a warm day, so bring plenty of water.
Begin from the trailhead near the ranger station, taking Obstruction Point/Deer Park Trail. There is an initial descent for the first half-mile, so keep in mind that you’ll need to finish the hike with an ascent.
Traverse a ridgeline, skirting to the left of an unnamed peak before wrapping around Green Mountain. You’ll continue along the ridge, curving around a bowl with a tiny lake visible below before making the final push atop Maiden Peak.
