Trail Overview
This trail begins with a challenging slope section characterized by deep ruts and off-camber washouts. Steep hill climbs with fractured basalt and loose dirt give way to a winding, shaded trail featuring high alpine terrain and exposed tree roots. The trail finishes with yet another steep hill climb and sharp off-camber turn at the summit. There, you will be treated to 360-degree views, including Mount Rainer and the Stuart Mountain range.
History
Frost Mountain was once a lookout, built in 1954. The lookout remained operational until 1988. Remnants of the concrete footings are all that exist now.
