Its a nice mountain in its own way, but choose your route carefully if coming from Sandbeach Lake

Mt. Orton
On the way to Chiefs Head topped out on the rocky outcrop. Nice views of the surrounding area, but the pale in comparison to what was to come from the top of Chiefs Head, but it is still worthy of a visit on its own.

Love this view
On the way to Chief's Head, stopped here and enjoyed the view of Wild Basin / Mt. Alice profile
Hiked both beaks after a camp at Sandbeach Lake. I was amazed at the number of columbines near the summit.

From Sandbeach
We ended up on Mount Orton on the way up Longs. If you want to get into the basin from the North Ridge stay on it almost until Chief's Head then drop down.

OrtonSaw this peak while trudging up Chiefs Head. Found myself less than 100 yards from the summit and thought "what the heck?". Spectacular views.
