Description:

Turn right at the sign for West Summit Trailhead. Note departure time at 8:30 so that we are back to the cars before noon. Last week it took 2 1/2 hours to get to the summit. I'll adjust the route so that we will be back at the cars at 11:30. It will be a steady pace.
We will walk along river/road to north trailhead to take 3 - 4 - 46 – 2 (steep) to summit.
Although this is not a flower hike, you will see snow queen, spring beauty, a few trillium, fawn lily and hound's tongue.

We will leave promptly at 8:30 so come early enough if need to use the facilities and/or buy a parking pass.

Trip Report

To see more flowers, we walked along the river through the arboretum to the South Boundary Trail and Zig Zag Plateau. From there we took the steep Trail 35 up to 3 to connect with main trail to the summit. We lost elevation going down Trail 2 and some of us were surprised how much elevation we had to regain on Trail 4. The hike took 3 1/2 hours.
