A friend of mine suggested this hike and what a great idea this was. Mt Pilchuck turned out to be just what I wanted on a cold sunny October Sunday morning. The trail is very well maintained, although it is not an easy one mostly due to its terrain. You could find everything here within a few hundred yards: mud, water, rocks, boulders, ice and snow. The hike was fairly steep, but short, and changes in terrain sure kept your attention focused on the trail. This is not a trail where you can enjoy the beauty while walking. One needs to stop to enjoy the views to avoid any injuries.
Mt Pilchuck is a very busy trail indeed. There were plenty of people at the top early in the morning and even more coming up on our way down. The views are truly majestic, so pick a clear day and come on down to Mt Pilchuck to play.
