Dirtybox Peak

Middle Fork Trips
It seems everyone has been up Mailbox Peak these days. For those who need a bit more spice and adventure, you can continue your hike a bit further and get the true highpoint of Mailbox, which is Dirtybox Peak. The vertical drop off Mailbox is only 130 feet so continuing the traverse from Mailbox is no big commitment. The ridgeline between the two peaks has some minor scrambles but nothing difficult, nor exposed. Most of the ridge has boot trails down and around the difficult rocks. The summit is a nice rocky outcrop with some decent views in two directions, including the summit of Mailbox.
