"Did this one as a bike and hike from my home in Issaquah. Rode to the trailhead and then made the short ascent of the highpoint via the climbers trail. Trail is easy to follow and views of Garfield are pretty darn good! " — stukesowle • Mar 31, 2021

"We hiked up Stegosaurus Butte (aka Choirboy) today. It's short and steep, but straightforward. There is no clear view at the top, but through the trees you can see the massive rockface of Mt Garfield to the north, and a peak called "The Seven Beauties" to the south. It's a nice hike. We saw only 4 other people on a beautiful Sunday afternoon." — markgarrett • Oct 29, 2017

"I was looking to bring a friend on a shorter summit trip that would allow us to be in Seattle by noon. This short hike is surprisingly popular among NW Hikers likely due to the high visual payoff and low physical cost. As a bonus I would get a look at the new section of the Pratt River Trail, which we left almost as quickly as we met it. On our way through North Bend the fresh snowline on Mount Si was crisp and clear. We followed a faint bootpath along the top of the ridge which became more clear as we climbed. About halfway up we were treated to stunning view of Mount Garfield mostly covered in snow. Near the top Mount Bessemer and part of Preacher Mountain appeared. A few inches of snow covered the ground starting below the false summit. Rainy creek was roaring below steep cliffs to the south. A bit of sunlight made it through the trees before we headed down. On our way down we found a better path slightly to the south. pics and route map @ http://www.jebsjourneys.com/2014/02/stegosaurus-butte-2-2-2014.html " — Jeb • Feb 2, 2014

"I did this one with a group of friends from work. It was a beautiful day, but plenty cold. The trail was surprisingly easy to follow despite its lack of popularity. We encountered a few inches of snow, but nothing too bad. There is a great viewpoint on the south side of the little bump you go over on the way to the summit. A slightly overgrown trail continues from the top of the first bump to the true summit. I'm surprised this peak isn't more talked about considering the nice view of the valley you get near the top. I'm sure that will change after the middle fork road gets paved." — Al-Rashid • Dec 6, 2013
