I have hiked up this peak many times via Tunnel Trail and also traversed over to Cathedral Peak for a loop hike. It's a great training hike with ~3000ft of elevation gain. The views on a clear day can be amazing.
Beautiful views, but I confess I didn't hike from the base of any trailhead. We hiked down from the top towards Cathedral. There are some nice rock outcroppings that make for great viewpoints, especially during the June Gloom.
