Mount Jenkins Summit
Parked at the Walker Pass Trail head and traveled along the PCT. I passed up Morris Peak hoping to grab it on the way back, but I was out of energy later in the day to try this peak. I found the plaque at the beginning of the mount but still had to walk a while before I saw the cairn that would leave me up to the summit. It was difficult to stay on the ducked route and sometimes I would have to retrace my steps to get back on the right path. Otherwise I would run into many dead ends. Walking the PCT was not difficult, but the last mile to the summit was hard.
