Cardiff
I did this solo. The weather was nice (50 degrees). I started across from the Alta Lodge and followed the dirt roads that turned into single track up Cardiff Pass. Cardiff Peak was just a short hike from the pass. After that I made my way up Superior. I was able to follow a trail at times and at other times I just scrambled along the ridge. After making it to the summit of Superior, I continued the short hike over to Monte Cristo. This was worth it as the views of the Sundial, Lake Blanche, Dromedary, Sunrise, and Broad Forks Twin Peaks were really cool. On the way down it was much easier to descend on the trail down from Superior. I enjoyed being able to hit 3 summits in short mileage!
Easy up from Alta. Views from here are outstanding. Went back down to the pass and up Flagstaff and on to Davenport before heading back down to Alta.

Hit Cardiff on the way to Superior during a December snowstorm. Beautiful views from the top! Someone put Christmas lights at the top which made for a great aesthetic on our way down in the dark!

I climbed this peak several times. Last time was on October 5 1996.
Hiked up from Alta, rode the Power Line run, then hiked up the west ridge of Mill D south fork and rode George's Bowl out to Reynolds Flats. Great day with my awesome wife!
