This forested peak is located northwest of Dry Buck Mountain. The summit of Peak 6323 is reached after a short climb from FSR-643, which traverses the peak’s South and West Slopes. The summit area is tree-covered and does not have a great view. Because the peak was logged in the past, both old and new growth Ponderosa pine cover its slopes. USGS High Valley

The only obstacle that you will encounter on your way to the summit is a bit of brush. The GPS track, shown below, marks my route. However, Peak 6323 can be climbed from any starting spot along FSR-643. The line we climbed had less brush than the slopes farther to the south.
