A pad leads the way through the cliffs and is easily followed. From the end of the fence it takes about 20 minutes to the east summit. The walk is harder to the west peak, and there are fewer views. Continue down into the saddle between the 2 peaks and ascend the west peak. When some rock craigs block the way, traverse right to bypass them.
Fewer people climb west peak and the pad is less obvious.
Boyds Butte can also be climbed from the East Cougal peak. From the summit follow the NE ridge down into the saddle. It is an easy climb to the top. This is a nice easy day walk for the summer months. Rock hop up the creek until there is a creek junction.
