Buck is pretty much a drive up summit if you have the right vehicle. It is one I pretty much just do because I am near and its 6 points, nothing hugely spectacular. Maybe nice if looking to do a shaded one during the summer. There are 2 peaks to the…

We didn't make it up to the summit for this one. The road was posted closed for the season. We drove as far as we could up to the summit but it rapidly got nasty and we decided to turn around. Will have to try again in the spring.
