Fagin's Hike of the Week- Humpback

Updated June 2, 2015

Great views but a caution that this hike is not for everyone. You will need real good navigation skills as this is a trail that has been getting a lot of use so the trend is getting good use, however, no trail signs. Also parts of the trail near the top you go over some boulders.  Views are great and just west of Snoq Pass.

Driving Directions; From Seattle, take I-90 East to Exit 47. Take a right at the exit and cross the bridge. At the 'T' (the pavement ends) turn right onto FS 55 (Tinkham Rd) and drive approx. 1.3 miles to an intersection and go left uphill onto the Hanson Creek Road (FS 5510). Drive uphill past the power line clearing and under the old railroad trestle for approx another 2.2 miles. At approx. 3.5 miles from the 'T' you'll see an old gated road on the left.  Park where you can find space and start hiking up the old road but do not block gate


Trail Stats:   From the gate hike about 0.50 0.75 miles on the road and you will see a boot path on the right (no trail sign) but a orange ribbon with some rocks marking the trail. Then go UP.
