Review:
The snow-dusted peak of Windy Mountain is the only peak within the low Sunlight Basin that is tall enough to be seen from outside the basin. The journey to the summit of Windy Mountain is a fairly easy Class 1 hike, which will lead through forests, creeks, and gulches, on twisting switchbacks to the summit. There is no register at the summit of Windy Mountain, however there is a wooden outhouse that has become an iconic symbol of this peak, and many hikers choose to write or etch their names into the wood of the outhouse by way of registry.
