Mt.Pilchuck, WA - More a Hike Less a Climb

Mount Pilchuck is in a WA State Park which covers about 1,893-acres. The main recreational attraction of the park is the three-mile trail to the summit and the old fire lookout. The trail begins at 3100 feet and winds through an old growth forest to alpine heather and large rocks at the summit of Mount Pilchuck ~5324 feet. The top provides incredible panoramic views of the Cascades, Olympics and Puget Sound.

Since Laurie was visiting and this gorgeous summer day provided a crystal clear sky we decided this would be a most enjoyable outing. Vena and Mary-Lou joined in for the hike and as usual the little antelope beat us all to the summit.

Trouble, trouble and more trouble
