Quartz Mountain

Route starts at the junction of NF-3120 and NF-3100. This is an easy gravel road with minor rutting and puddles that skirts several hills on the way to the very top of Quartz Mountain (6,280'). There are several great views of the surrounding Cascades, and at the top of the mountain, a spectacular view of Mt. Rainier. The road has some steep sections, particularly the last mile up to the mountaintop but could be driven in most cars. It is most certainly snow-covered until June/July.
