My brother and I decided to check out Point 1620' and Fuller Mountain. It should be noted these are within Hancock Timber property and require a permit. We parked where the North Fork Road crosses the Spur 10 Road. We decided to head for Point 1620' first. We headed east on Spur 10 Road and then took the first left we came to. We followed that road for about a third of a mile, crossing one obvious road at a four way junction, then a less obvious road at another four way junction. At around .3 miles from the Spur 10 Road we reached another obvious four way junction at which we turned right. We followed that road up onto the ridge south of the peak at which point it forked heading north and south along the top of the ridge. We headed north toward the peak. From the high point in the road it was a short bushwack to the top. Now with the shorter trip of the 2 out of the way it was onward to Fuller Mountain.

We took the Weyerhauser Loop Trail and quickly came to a creek crossing where the trail utilized a log. There was a section of the log with all the bark stripped off and some snow across the top of it making it a pretty precarious crossing. After the crossing we soon came to a four way junction where we curved slightly left. At the next four way junction we went left and then took the next right which brought us to Klaus Lake, which was frozen over. From there we traced our steps back to the last four way junction continuing straight through it this time heading east. Soon we reached a fork where we headed left. Right would take you to the gravel pit. We found the start of the Fuller Mountain Trail leaving the left side of the road, obscured with tons of brush. After a few feet on the trail it became clear we were indeed on the right path. We followed the trail around the west side of the mountain and then climbed several switchbacks up the northwest ridge as we made our way to the top.

At this point it was getting dark and we decided to bushwack directly south back toward the gravel pit. We noticed a cliff hanging over the gravel pit on our way up so we knew if we veered southeast even a bit we would end up getting cliffed out. Well sure enough we found ourselves peering over the edge of the dropoff and had to head west to get around it. At this point we decided to keep west until we ran into the trail we took on the way up. Soon enough we were crossing the trail. The hard part behind us we breathed a sigh of relief and traced our route back the way we came in.

The trail to the top of Fuller Mountain is actually pretty nice. Even though it's a longer route than bushwacking up and down the south side of the mountain from the gravel pit, I think I prefer it. It is very narrow most of the way and skirts along some steep hillside, but in places it has a lot of character. Thick moss adorns the logs and rocks along the trail and the trail has a path carved through a small scree field at one point. It was a much more interesting trail than I would have expected to find on this little knob of a mountain. Plus our bushwack down in the dark certainly made the trip a little more interesting than it otherwise would have been.
