Features:

This is one of the truely spectacular hikes in the Washington Pass Area.

The hike begins at the trail head off FR#400. The trail climbs gently up the valley toward Cutthroat Lake. One must stop by the lake on this hike to enjoy the beauty and take a rest. It is only a short distance off the trail up to Cutthroat Pass.

The trail climbs very steeply as it makes its way to the pass. Most of the climb is on the south slope of the mountain and the views just get better and better with each sweaty step you take.

In season the wildflowers are excellent, but in all seasons the views are world class.
