Bushwhacking over Mt. Jackson (10,052ft)

Part of the Shuttle Run Trail will involve bushwhacking along the Continental Divide from Triple Divide Pass to Hidden Lake. 

One of the obstacles that stands in the way is Mt. Jackson (10,052ft), the 4th highest peak in the park.

In addition to Mt. Jackson we will have to ridge run Triple Divide Peak (8,020ft), Mount Logan (9,239ft), Gunsight Mountain (9,258ft), and Reynolds Mtn (9,125ft).  I understand that the western views from atop the ridge are unbelievable.
