The hike left from a trailhead down a Forest Road north of Roslyn, and was just short of 8 miles round trip, with about 2500 ft of elevation gain. Along the way we passed a beautiful mountain lake, with campsites and people swimming there, and then up a steep mountainside through meadows of wildflowers to the summit. At the top there is a fire lookout and an amazing view of Lake Kachess and Rainier in the distance.

Hiking Up Thorp Mountain
Continuing on our summer of hikes, Joseph, Henry, and Dad found an off-the-beaten path hike to Thorp Mountain and hiked it on a beautiful summer Saturday in August.
The hike left from a trailhead down a Forest Road north of Roslyn, and was just short of 8 miles round trip, with about 2500 ft of elevation gain. Along the way we passed a beautiful mountain lake, with campsites and people swimming there, and then up a steep mountainside through meadows of wildflowers to the summit. At the top there is a fire lookout and an amazing view of Lake Kachess and Rainier in the distance.
