Silver Star Mt. - Ed's Trail #180A by Jennifer S.
This is a gorgeous hike in the South Cascades (GPNF) near the Lewis River. It's a long drive to the trailhead and the road is rough in places but, not too bad in my opinion - at least not with a 4WD.
The trail is in great shape (though quite rocky) and the wildflowers are abundant! No snow - aside from a few small patches that the dogs enjoyed playing in...
It was very cloudy/foggy at first with a couple of minor showers. But, the skies cleared up nicely and the views were amazing! I can only imagine what it would be like on a clear day!! I'll go back for sure...
Silver Star Mt. "North Loop" via trail #180 and "Ed's Trail" #180A is 5.2 miles RT with 1400' of elevation gain. There are a couple of short, steep sections - one where you need to use your hands - and help the dogs down. Nothing major though.
