This peak, described as an "enormous rounded mound", is in Mt. Rainier Nat. Park. Generally regarded as a scramble peak, there are no significant technical challenges. Terrific views of Mt. Rainier, Little Tahoma Peak, the Emmons Glacier and the Frying pan Glacier are yours, if the clouds clear away.

Activity Notes

We will camp at White River CG in the Park on Friday night and get an early start Saturday morning. We will climb counterclockwise, ascending the east ridge to the summit and descending the standard creek route to the trail. We'll camp again at White River campground Saturday night before heading home on Sunday.
