This document discusses peak bagging dayhikes, which involve hiking to the top of mountains. It describes several lists of peaks that are goals for peak baggers, such as the Hundred Peaks in Southern California and the Seven Summits around the world. The level of effort required ranges from easy drives to difficult 20-hour hikes. An example route is provided for climbing Marion Mountain near San Jacinto Peak in California, which involves taking the Palm Springs tramway and following a trail through a saddle between Marion Mountain and Jean Peak to reach the summit block requiring some rock climbing.
