Peak 5096 is located on a long North-South ridge between Grouse Creek and Blacks Creek. Access the peak from Blacks Creek Road [(G)(1) on Page 156]. Peak 5096 and Peak 5100 can be combined into a great 9.0-mile round trip ridge walk with great views. If you have hiked Kepros Mountain and enjoyed the walk, you will find this walk its equal.

Access

FST-291/Woodtick Creek Trail is located 0.4 miles north of Blacks Creek Pass on Blacks Creek Road. The trailhead is signed. Blacks Creek Pass is 10.8 miles northeast of I-84. There is parking for 1-2 vehicles at the trailhead.

Southeast Ridge, Class 2

FST-291 works up the creek for a short ways and crosses the creek. The trail quickly climbs up to a pass at the head of Grouse Creek and a junction. The left fork descends into the drainage. Follow the old road northeast along the ridge crest to reach a fence row just past Station Peak. Leave the road here and bushwhack right/southwest through sagebrush along the fence row to reach the small summit area. There was no summit cairn or summit register on top. Given the sagebrush bushwhack required to reach the summit, I rate this climb at Class 2 even though much of the hike is Class 1.

Please note that there is a large section of private land in this area and access could be closed in the future. As of 2023, the old road/trail is still open to the public but requires 240 feet of extra uphills (round trip) when climbing Station Peak from the Woodtick Creek trailhead.
