Another approach option is to take the Berverly Creek Trail to the Junction with Fourth Creek Trail, then the Fourth Creek Trial to Ingalls Creek. This brings you out right at the base of the route. It is about 5.1 miles with less vertical than Longs (about 1800 ft. to Fourth Creek Pass and 1200 ft. from the pass to Ingalls Creek) AND best of all - no NW Forest Pass required to park at the trail head.
