The trail climbs sharply through a forest of Douglas fir for a mile to a view of the Goat Rocks, Sawtooth Mountain, Mount Rainier, and Mount Adams. From this viewpoint you get a great view of Mount Adams and the Goat Rocks. It's worth bringing a camera for this one. From there the path continues uphill to a small meadow below Bird Mountain's cliffs before the trail levels off for a mile to an unmarked junction at your first view of Cultus Lake. Continue right around beautiful, alpine Cultus Lake to a junction with the Lemei Trail.
