Bacon Peak is a relatively inaccessible peak on the western side of the North Cascades. This is the shortest route to the summit, bushwhacking from the SE side, starting at NFS Road 1064. The route crosses the base of electric butte, and ascends Bacon Peak via the Diobsud Creek Glacier.
Start at Glacier Gorge Parking lot Rocky Mountain National Park. Pass Mills Lake, Black Lake and up east drainage weaving the best path the North Ridge of the Spearhead. Climb North Ridge rated 5.6 with a few variances and the last pitch is an exposed hand/finger crack. Work your way around summit blocks to the true summit. Can descend either to the east or the west. I generally descend to the west and around as it is more familiar.
