Route:

This is a very popular hike off the Cascade River Road just outside the national park boundary. It's one of the easiest peaks to reach that gives you views over all the rugged peaks in the area. There is also a 1931 lookout on the summit that makes for great pictures. But, the lookout is not on the highest point, look for point 7088 on the map and scramble up it for the highest point.

This is just a trail by mid July, before that be prepared for some steep snow crossings. The trail starts as an old road, goes up through forests, finally becoming meadows and views, views, views. A few minor trails break off the main route if you wanted to go to Sibley Pass, Hidden Lake or the highpoint. Most people just go to the lookout.
