A true PNW hike through the mist, this was a well marked trail with a little bit of everything – covered, open, rocks, mud, roots,…

Wonderful views, be prepared to scramble to the top.

Great hike. Really enjoyed the rocky terrain and light bouldering. I think this is the “easiest” of the six but only because it’s shorter. It…

The road is always terrible, but the trail is beautiful!  There are a few snow patches, but they’re easy to pass.  The tower is open…

Beware of the road! We punctured a tire on our way in, which made for a really challenging drive home.

Pleasant hike, the lookout tower was just being open. The views are incredible, the trail is marked well.

Road up was ridiculous lol. Potholes more like craters. trail was mostly rock. Excellent view up top

Very fun day! Trail is super rocky after about the first mile. Definitely an ankle burner if you aren’t paying attention. Started at 7:30 am…

Add 40 minutes to an hour to drive the last 6 miles to the trailhead. The drive up may have been more difficult than the…

When people say the road to get there is rough… they mean ROUGH. Loved this hike. Started around 6am on a Saturday morning and had…

This was a planned sunrise hike, however, the last few miles of dirt road took so long because of the very large pot holes some…

It was a perfect day for this hike. Not too hot, but dry. There was fog at the top, so we didn’t get access to…

After the final treacherous 5 miles of abysmally deep crater-like pot holes, and 45 minutes later (driving carefully as if I was wheeling on the…

Worth the trek!

I got a late start from the trailhead at 9:45am. I hiked the trail on a Wednesday, and the parking lot was barely half-full by…

The hike was very busy, many people with and without masks.  Black flies were present, but not too bad.  The trail was rocky, but easily…

A great hike, lots of variety in terrain, incredible views once you make it to the top. A few too many other hikers, but it…

The last part of the trail just before the boulder scramble/ladder climb had a lot of snow. It was very slick from all of the…

Hiked with my Dad, husband and 3 kids: 15, 13, 10.

It was a beautiful day! Lots of snow on this trail still. highly recommend micro spikes and poles! The road up to the parking lot…

First time, glad i had proper equipment for snow areas.

Parked 1/4 mile down the road due to snow on the road. Trail was snow covered basically the entire way. Mostly skiers and riders at…

A cloudy day on a snowy trail, but no complaints from me.  “Sheltering in place” on Camano Island, and look directly across a bay to…

The road up is very bad, high-clearance vehicle highly recommend (although I did see a Prius near the trailhead when I returned). There is a…
