Length: 3 miles round trip
Elevation Change: 1170' gain
Season: Summer thru fall
Difficulty:   Difficult
Permit:
  NW Forest Pass Required
Latitude:   48.3246
Longitude:   -120.1847

Features:

this is a popular little hike with easy access. The trailhead is about 6.5 miles from SR20 in Twisp and the road is in good condition.

I classify this hike as difficult because of the significant elevation gain in such as short distance. However, the shortness of the hike makes it feel easier.

The majority of the hike is in forested areas but there are many times the trail is out if in the open. This provides many opportunities to view the surrounding mountains. In season, this is a very floral hike.
