Has anyone been up the road to Oakes Peak off highway 20? I explored it a little a couple years ago, but it hadn't melted out yet. Anyone been up to the top? It looks like the views would be pretty good.

I haven't been up there, but I've heard the road is very overgrown and an extremely unpleasant brush thrash. I'm not sure how far up you can drive.

Hey Polarbear, I just connected with a buddy who summitted Oakes two years ago. He says the road to Oakes is very bad shortly after leaving the main Bacon Creek road. If you are thinking about climbing it I would like to join up with you. I tried to climb Damnation this winter but had to settle for a lesser peak to the SW. The road up Damnation Creek is as bad as they come.
