After hiking to Kelly Butte we headed to Cloquhoun Peak. We easily found the way thanks to the Hiking with My Brother post. We decided to risk taking our old Subi wagon up 7036-110 and didn't have any trouble. The parking area had a lot of snow but we were able to turn around and back up leaving room if anybody else ventured up. We did see a Ranger looking PU truck checking the area as we were almost down the trail.
The trail is a soft easy path through a dark forest. It is a little steep but not bad. The first little viewpoint offered a view of Kelly Butte after we scrambled down a little. The next spot again offered views if you get close to the edge. Trees block most of the views at the top but we could spot the clouds we knew were blocking Mount Rainier.
It was fun to spot this from Kelly Butte then spot Kelly Butte from here.
