Sunday was a great day
with mainly clear skies. The trail from the parking lot gains elevation right from the git go. The 100 Hikes book discribes the first 2 miles fairly well.I didn't go to the old lookout site but the views starting at about 5000 feet are great. I recommend continuing up the meadows and to the top to get even better sights. The trail is quite sketchy in places but your destination is right in front of you and up. When you top out on the ridge you have Baker, Shuksan, the Pickets, and a slew of others in front of you. The stiff climb also weeds out most people so I could enjoy a quite nap by myself.
