Althogh Gypsy is listed 1 foot higher than nearby Abercrombie Peak at 7309 ft., We determined Gypsy is 12 to 15 feet higher than reported at the actual summit. Best guess 7320+. This hike had some incredible open views along the entire route with spectacular views of the international borderp with Canada and the Canadian Selkirks.
FR 2212 is blocked by a large boulder now about a half mile from the turn off. Can't get close to Bear Pasture TH now as far as I can tell. It is supposed to come back down farther on 2220 but from what I can tell that road is grown in with trees now. Think the only feasible way now is via Sullivan Mtn/Crowell Ridge which means like a 26-28 mi RT now. Hopefully the boulder is moved soon but I'd call the rangers.

Untitled CommentThanks for stopping by. The peak does offer a gypsy's view of the world.
I was already aware of the elevation quandary. In fact, read the third paragraph of the overview.

Re: road blockedTake Highline road off Sullivan Lake road. It's about 1/4 mile north of Sullivan Creek road
