| pingzingr | Summit via North Trailhead Date Climbed: Jul 8, 2012 | |
| Good day trip up from the northern, higher trailhead. Nice walk up through the trees and out on top. Beautiful sun all day long, a little hazy for far off views but into the Olympics was beautiful. More people than I have been used to in my Olympic travels but a good hike nonetheless. | |

| Mountainjeff | Great views Date Climbed: Dec 10, 2011 | |
| There is snow on the road starting at the cutoff for the lower trailhead. We managed to drive to the upper trail head with chains and 4x4. It will not take much more snow to make this impassible. Due to the lengthy temperature inversion, there is not a huge amount of snow and the trail is solid ice. I used crampons for the hike. Some sort of traction device is needed. I popped above the clouds at about 5000ft and the views were amazing. Total time round trip was around 5 hrs. | |

| mountaingazelle | Townsend Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2011 | |
| I hiked the route up Dirty Face Ridge. This is supposed to be a less popular route but I saw a lot of people on it. Clouds moved along the ridge all day. | |

| HiT | Birthday hike Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2010 | |
| This summit has the most amazing views of both worlds. I would absolutly hate to do this hike if there were no views. One direction is the sound and the other is the mountains. I had very clear skies so I was able to see Adams and Rainier. There was a third one that I think may have been Hood even??? Not to sure on that one though. | |

| breauxtrahn | two of three trails Date Climbed: Jul 25, 2004 | |
| First time I took the Mt Townsend Trail, and personally wasn't taken with it. Then in '09 went on the trail from the Northeast side and enjoyed it much more, except for having no views and snow on the way down. | |

| TimmyC | Very nice Date Climbed: Aug 23, 2007 | |
| Used the upper trailhead, pretty crowded on the trail, kind of a zoo on top, but still very beautiful. I gotta learn to not go on summertime weekends. | |
