View all the parts of Mummy Mountain’s Summit Area

This is a projected adventure with a goal of navigating from Lee Canyon Road to Mummy’s Forehead and Mummy’s Chin. The ultimate goal would be traversing from Mummy’s Chin to Mummy’s Summit, then possibly looping down to Deer Creek Road and back to Lee Canyon Road. Expect a magical transition from the Ponderosa Pine Zone to the Bristlecone Pine Zone. Also, prepare to navigate many challenging limestone ledges!

Parts of this great adventure already accomplished are:

• Mummy’s Nose from Lee Canyon Road
• Mummy’s Chin Summit Ridge Loop from Deer Creek Road
• Descent from Mummy’s Summit to Deer Creek Road

Only one missing part of this great adventure:

• Mummy’s Chin to Mummy’s Summit 

Now it’s just a matter of adding the missing link, then putting it all together into a single grand loop adventure!
