Da-ek Dow Go-et Mountain (Washoe for Sentinel Rock) is a visually beautiful peak, and surrounded by horizons of similar jagged non-granitic ridges. Take the pack trail from Blue Lake Road southeast to the saddle west of the summit block, passing above a treeline of Lodgepole Pine woodlands to sagebrush plains. There, follow use trails, cairns, or just your own instinct to the peak itself.
