Bloody Mountain

If your car can survive the Laurel Lake Road (High clearance 4WD), then you get treated to this fantastic peak bag. Switchbacks up to a saddle between Bloody and Laurel Mtn. Then turn north and head up the red rock to the ridge. Be ready for a long slog up the ridge with many false summits.
