I hit Monument Peak in September of 2003. Since you can drive right to the top of Monument Peak, there's not much to report about the trip. The drive through Eccles Canyon on the way there was the most interesting part of the trip, as this was my first time on that road. We had to stop on a side road in Eccles so my wife could feed our 3-month-old son, so my oldest son and I got out and did a little sight-seeing there. The drive on the dirt road up to Monument was your standard run of the mill mountain drive. We passed a couple of sheepherder camps along the way, but otherwise didn't see any other people.
Parked just off of Eccles Canyon
