This is the summit plaque on Mt. Esther. Not every peak has a plaque - and story to go with it - so I took a shot. Nice use of epoxy to attach the plaque thus preventing theives from stealing it.. The summit of Esther is a "trailless" peak so you have to follow a herd path over to the summit for about a mile. The herd path was better then some trails I've been on so there may be some confusion as to how much maintenance goes on for "trailless" summits. I rate it an excellent hike. The climb was about 3000ft from the car with a few nice spots along the way. Only one "bog" in one of the cols but it was hardly 100ft long so it wasn't too tough to cross.
