West French Cabin Mountain via Silver Creek
      
      
  
     
We hiked north along Silver Creek on trail 1315 to the intersection
    with trail 1308.1 at 4,650'.  We went east on trail 1308.1 until we
    met the south ridge of West French Cabin Mountain.  We left the
    trail and followed the ridge up, often keeping a bit east of the top
    of the ridge to avoid the rock.  The off-trail travel was easy.
On the way down we avoided the ridge rock entirely by descending lower
    on the east face of the ridge.
