My second time late April hike almost all off-trail up to Tronsen Ridge and Tronsen Knob from FR-7230. On Hwy 97 drive over the Blewett Pass Crest and in less than a mile on the right will be the pulloff for FR-7230; go about 1 mile to the end of FR-7230 then start the hike uphill to Tronsen Ridge. I drive this in my stock cargo van so high-clearance isn't required. The ridge trail is sometimes covered by hard-packed snow drifts, just go around or over.
Amazing views to the West of Blewett Pass and Diamond Head and to the North of the Enchantments peaks.
GaiaGPS says 1800 ft elevation gain and 5.5 miles round-trip although it's almost all up-then-down so feels like more :-) I can't wait to hike it again.
