Whittaker Wilderness Peak, Gombu Wilderness Cliffs & Wilderness Peak Loop — Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2022

Issaquah Alps > Cougar Mountain
Classic PNW views

Excellent choice for a foggy, drizzly day. Having visited several times within the past year, I decided to check out the new trail I've seen under construction on my way up. It's mostly in excellent shape, except for two big blowdowns - one near the beginning and one near the end. Both are impenetrable without venturing off-(what is already off-)trail, so I suppose my recommendation would be to wait until the new trail is officially open and maintained and stick to the original for now. Happy hiking!

Are these the cliffs?

I've seen a lot of discarded peels, but this time someone tried to start an orange grove
Did you find this trip report helpful?

Orange peels and doggie-doo bags. What are these rude people thinking?
I can't wait for someone to drop one when I am there to see it and return it to them.
