This is a pleasant hike through sparse east-of-Snoqualmie pine forests. Once off trail, you will be ascending alpine meadows of kinnikinnick, heather, low blueberries until you reach the talus and rocky top of the peak.
The trail climbs moderately and sometimes steeply along the slopes above Boulder Creek. Motorbikes, but not ATVs, are allowed, though it appears that usage is light. Along this portion, there are some trail branches. The first one is marked as 1392.7. Stay left. The next one is not marked. Stay left.
After 3.9 miles you will reach an intersection with a 4WD road, marked with a sign. None of the routes match the numbers on the Green Trails map (revision 2004) except the one you arrived on. Take the 4WD road to the left.
In a mile or so, you will see the mountain to your left. If you stay on the 4WD road, there are some branches that go further up, but on foot really just add unnecessary distance. Instead, pick a route up the sparse vegetation for your ascent.
