Hasn't voted | It's really quite easy actually. Just leave the trail around 5000 feet and stick to the ridge crest. There are some old yellow paint splotches on the rocks that you can follow if you like. But it's an easy scramble over talus to the summit. | | Posted Jan 31, 2012 10:34 am |

| wheelerpeak20 | rather low elevation? | | Hasn't voted | is that really 5000 ft it kind of wierd to see this considering i live in the desert at 7000ft. i love the cascade area | | Posted Mar 25, 2012 12:22 pm |

Hasn't voted | It certainly is. And it gets even more pronounced as you go north. Some of the mountains I've seen on the Kenai Peninsula are only 4000 feet but with all the glaciers and steep rock walls, they look like 8000 feet. | | Posted Mar 25, 2012 1:58 pm |
