An 8 mile roundtrip hike with 3100ft elevation gain.
Hike begins to climb immediately but the first 1.5 miles is in the cool forest.
The trail splits at 1.5 miles, the left fork goes to Crystal Lakes, but we chose the right fork up to Crystal Peak. The trail has two long traverse climbs in the open hill side, with great views of Mount Rainier to the South looking up the White River.
At the top of Crystal Peak we could see Crystal Lake and Sourdough Gap
To the Southeast, Mount Adams
to the Southwest, with the zoom lens, Mt St Helens
