"Finally took a crack at Mount Forgotten today after seeing it from Mount Dickerman over the years. The 3 miles up to Perry Creek falls are snow free and the trail is a nice, mild ascent. After crossing the creek, the elevation gain begins in the earnest and the snow begins to make an appearance. The trail gets more difficult to follow here, and there was only a faint boot path once the snow was on the route for good. At least today it was easy to get off track a bit in the morning, however by the time we came down, there were enough people who had come up to Forgotten Meadows to beat the path down pretty well. Forgotten Meadows is a beautiful destination, with great views in all directions. Unobstructed Glacier Peak, Mount Pugh across the Sauk River valley, Sloan, Baker, the Monte Cristo area peaks, etc. As previous trip reports describe, the proper path towards Mount Forgotten is a bit ambiguous at this point, and the snow didn't help. There was no path to follow, so we made our way down heading to the left from the left or slightly northwest from the northwest edge of the meadow, and then dropping down pretty steeply to what seemed to be a fairly clear route below th..." — BryHong8 • Jun 2, 2018

"A few recent trip reports for Perry Creek and Mount Forgotten reminded me that I wanted to return to the Mountain Loop Highway before access to it becomes complicated by winter. I parked behind the only other vehicle at the barricaded access road just east of the bridge over Perry Creek. Snow began to appear on the trail after the second creek crossing, and was covered the ground by halfway up the switchbacks up to the meadows. At the top of the ridge there was a solid boot trench across the meadows through at least a foot of snow, and a set of tracks (at least a day old) continued down to the traverse. From there, two to four feet of soft snow covered the ground up to the summit, the tip of which was bare rock. A report from Sunday on WTA.org described a firm bootpath to the Meadows and mentioned 2 people who may have tried for the summit, so I chose to leave my snowshoes behind and chance the last 1.5 miles without them. After the road stops I met a pair of hikers carrying snowshoes, the only people I saw off of the highway all day. We leap-frogged up the trail, hiking together for the last mile below the ridgeline. There are at least 5 separate waterfalls feeding into Perry C..." — Jeb • Nov 11, 2013
