Need to Know

Yellow posts mark the trail. If the trail gets clouded in, you may need them.

Description

The trail starts by running on switchbacks along the side of the hill.

After about a mile, you gain a sharp ridge.

Soon the trees begin to shrink and you are above the treeline.

Soon you'll connect up with the Avalanche Peak Route which you can take to the top.
