Ascended from the west via Lost Nation and parked at the end of Arthur White Rd. Spoke with the friendly property owner who welcomed hikers to cross his land. Mowed grassy road leads 1.0 miles across property to a private trail leading up the ridge to a cabin and the Mt. Mary summit.
Bushwhacked through semi-heavy spruce with moss covered terrain to Middle Pilot then had mostly open woods conditions along the eastern ridge to NW Pilot and the col to Hutchins. Here the woods got much thicker with waves of thick fir between waves of ferns. I encountered a 15-20 foot band of cliffs a few tenths south of the summit and popped through the thick stuff right at the Hutchins summit canister. All 4 peaks have some sort of canister and log.
