"I Parked at the blue gate at the turn on the far east end of Kent-Kangley Road. The logging road seems to have been converted to trail for just the first half mile before it reverts back to an extensive branched logging road system. The ground was dusted with frosty snow right away.
Shortly after turning left at the first fork I found a dirt bike trail on the right that cut the first and largest switchback on the route. About 1/4 mile later I entered a large opening where the snow had become deep enough to put on snowshoes. The sun had just risen and I could see distant alpenglow on the Olympics, Mount Baker, and Teneriffe Ridge.
There were two sets of snowshoe tracks from a few inches ago, which took a different route on the NE side of the ridge and continued to the main summit and another two sets made since the last dusting which stopped in a second clearing filled with logging debris . From there I bushwhacked up a steep bank to rejoin the road and and took a small detour up the NW peak with just over 200' of prominence on the way to the top.
The main summit provides a view to the West and Southwest. This just barely misses Mount Rainier, but there are several places..." — Jeb • Jan 16, 2013
