Description
Starts as an easy hike through the woods. About halfway to the summit, it gets steep and a little challenging. Before reaching the summit, there is a steep rock formation to cross. A rope is in place to help you get across this area. The summit has a view that includes the olympic ski jumps. The view can be expanded by going to some lower rock formations nearby. I recommend using the long trail when returning to the trailhead. There are few blazes, but the trail is easy to follow and there are signs at intersections.
