Type of Hike
Day hike
I was in Packwood to meet up with Ralph and hike up Old Snowy on Saturday so we made a quick decision on Friday afternoon to go up to the lookout and highest point (5685')in the Sawtooth Range. The trail #266 sign says 1.5 miles but it seems more like 2 because it climbs quickly. We got to the top in about an hour and were rewarded with spectacular views, especially of Rainier to the north. The trail looks well traveled and there are some wildflowers in bloom but it is mostly shaded through forest. This was a very hot day and the bugs were out in force.
