Recently Cut Area. This is just off Harvey Mountain Truck Trail, in the section below Harvey Mountain. Some great open views on this portion of truck trail, just don't drive off it into the valley -- no guard rail protection!

Harvey Mountain Truck Trail. This is the portion that now appears to be gated. I do not know if this truck trail is open during the summer. The map shows it as an open truck trail. Regardless, it was very snow covered this time of year.

Decending an Unnamed Hill. Part of the gated/snow covered portion of Harvey Mountain Truck Trail, goes around and partially over a small hill, then drops into a ravine, until finally one climbs up Harvey Mountain. The truck trail is not much of a hike, no more 9/10th of a mile and only a 150 foot climb.

Rocks Peaking Out of Snow. The truck trail had some of the snow melting off it. The rocks up are pretty sharp to say the least.

1.5 Miles to Harvey via Hiking Trail. This is down along the start of the Harvey Mountain Truck Trail. I have also gone up Harvey Mountain this way in the past, and don't really have a preference one way or another, although with this trail it's longer, and the elevation gain is greater.
