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.
