Started hike about .75 miles East of the Trail Knox Creek/Thorpe Mountain TH due to road conditions. Hike to Hard Knox summit, (Number 45 on The Home Court 100 list). Obtained good route information on Summitpost.org. Awesome views from the summit and along the trail. Continued to hike along Kachess Ridge past Hard Cheese.
