Hiking Tronsen Meadow

This multi-use, steep trail passes through forests and meadows, with views of the surrounding Diamond Head, Miller and Navaho Peaks, and the Enchantments, ultimately connecting with the Tronsen Ridge Trail. From here, access is also possible to Table Mountain.

As you hike, notice the charred trunks of some of the trees along the trail. These forested areas experienced fires in the recent past. The burned areas are of different time periods and show different stages of recovery.

Once you reach the Mount Lillian Trail (1.7 miles from the trailhead), take the trail heading north for 0.4 mile and then Upper Naneum Trail (4W312) for one mile to spectacular views of the Stuart range, Glacier Peak, and of course, Mount Rainier.
