Ut1364 Brown's Park Rd s(u) -1

Brown's Park was named for an old trapper from the fur trapping period, who was active in this area. It is known best for the confluence of the Green and the Yampa and its surrounding cliffs. One paved road heads into this area and this is the smaller of two consecutive summits, approaching Brown's Park from the west The summit elevation on the other one is a little bit lower, but includes the bigger drop down to the park and Green River. Both are included in the profile.

The picture on this page was taken on the other summit, showing the road to this summit.

Approaches

From West. It's a shallow climb to a shallow saddle. But the absence of traffic is great. Mostly it consists of a few cars with empty boat trailers, making the run to the park to pick up river floaters.

From East. After a few hundred feet of rolling downhill a rim of snow appears as backdrop to Clay Basin. Little Mountain does not look quite as little from here, and now I understand how I mistook it for the edge of the Uinta Mountains, the first time I rode along here.

Dayride with this point as highest summit:
