One of my favorite places. It's a long steep ascent, but once you turn the corner towards the knife edge path on the Pacific Crest Trail, those 5+ miles up feel worth it. I first hiked here in 1993. Ironically, on the same day, June 27, when I was a different woman, in her first year in Seattle. Since then I have hiked all over the Cascades. This is familiar territory and I will never lose my love for it, in spite of anything that life throws in my face.
