Surprisingly, an alphabetical search turns up no recent reports for Evergreen Mountain - so here is one.
If you've been to Evergreen Mountain, suffice to say that the roads and trail are in good shape, the bugs are minimal, the colors are great, and the place is as beautiful as ever.
If you haven't been to Evergreen Mountain, to take this hike drive to Skykomish, drive north to Jack Pass on the Beckler River Road, about 13 miles, turn right onto FS 6550 for a mile to 6554 and hang a left, then drive about 8.5 miles to the trailhead. Be advised that the road has sharp dropoffs but is in good shape.
The trail to the lookout is between 1.5 and 1.75 miles, depending on your source, and is quite steep most of the way. The trail climbs a ridge for the first third with views of mountains all round. About the next third of the trail is in forest, then it breaks into high meadows with great views. At the top is the lookout, locked but rentable, with fantastic views of Rainier, Glacier Peak and everything around and in between.
The day was perfect, the colors were perfect, the setting is perfect.
