Mount Pilchuck Trail

Mount Pilchuck Trail begins from the forest road trailhead and climbs through evergreen woodland, crossing small drainages before entering steeper, rockier alpine terrain on the mountain’s upper slopes. The route then bends across open talus and exposed ridgeline terrain toward the Mount Pilchuck summit, where the historic fire lookout is the main landmark. On a clear day, the reward is a broad Cascade panorama, with views toward Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, Mount Baker, and Mount Rainier.
