This a hike east of Stevens Pass and it is steep hike and south facing. This can be a very hot hike when we have our heat waves, however with the current seasonable conditions this makes it much more pleasant. I hiked to the high meadow with great views and no need to hike to the top of the mountain. This hike was done earlier in the month when there was lingering snow and most (all) should be gone. Probably some lingering flowers in the high meadow.
