Once on top of the ridge, hikers enjoy
commanding views of Mount Rainier, the
Ohanapecosh Valley and the Cascades.
This area also provides the opportunity
to see or hear black bear, elk, coyote,
and mountain goats. For hikers seeking
solitude, this is a good trail choice–
probably because it can be very hot and dry
on a sunny summer afternoon.
