The summit is roughly 0.7 miles south of the pass. The terrain is mostly covered by sagebrush and wildflowers and is easily traversed. The elevation gain is a bit less than 300 feet.
We rode our mountain bikes from the campground to the pass and then hiked Harrington Peak and Peak 8501 from the pass.
