About this hike

Hough Peak is a quieter, trailless summit in the Dix Range that is usually climbed as part of a full traverse or added to Macomb and South Dix. Though unmaintained, the herd paths are relatively easy to follow, and the summit offers surprisingly beautiful views from several ledges along the ridge.
