W7A/AE-009, Greens Peak

Greens Peak is an easy Drive-Up 10-point summit, with a dirt road (FR 61) that leads to the top.  I drove up in a Jeep Cherokee and although 4wd was not needed, I was very glad to have high clearance.  The final mile or so was full of deep washboard grooves.

The mountain itself has grassy slopes and if you wanted to hike instead, you could hike up the road or probably bushwhack up the slope without much trouble.  I chose to drive up, since I was doing an evening activation, but once up top I made a short hike around the broad top to look for a good setup location and to make sure I got as close as possible to the high point.

The top is full of commercial towers, so expect RF interference.  There is a restroom at the top.

Here's a 360 view video that I took while I was up there (split into two files due to size limits):

I made plenty of good contacts, including some nice long-distance QSO's on 60m and 40m as the evening set in.  After only an hour I was in total darkness and packed up to carefully navigate my way down.
