Amazing views! This is a fantastic hike but not for beginners. Can be busy so if you like solitude- go during off peak hours and days. Steep but worth the climb!

Do you dream of climbing the snow-capped Cascades? Do you gape in wonder at sweeping views from historic lookouts? If you answered "yes," you have found your park in Mount Pilchuck. The 2.7-mile trail begins on U.S. Forest Service land and enters this day-use state park after a quarter-mile. The terrain changes quickly from forest to fields of shale that evoke the face of the moon. Orange poles point the way through the jumble of gray and white boulders and, when the views open up, they reveal Mount Shuksan, Mount Baker and the North Cascades. The trail reaches a chunky white rock wall before winding around the back of the peak for a steep approach to the lookout. The true summit requires a short scramble to the lookout's wraparound balcony. Pause and take in the majestic landscape from the lookout – the valley of timber and rock below, Mount Rainier to the south, the Olympic range to the west and the North Cascades all around. Panels on each wall inside the structure tell you which peaks you are seeing.
