| | Date: | Sunday, January 2, 2011 | | Ascent Type: | Successful Summit Attained | | Motorized Transport to Trailhead: | Car | | Peak: | Cairn Hill | | Location: | USA-Washington | | Elevation: | 4745 ft / 1446 m |
Ascent Trip ReportPretty simple. Start at the road just a hair short of Blewett Pass on the W side of the road. Hike road with two quick L's. Once you get to the East Ridge you can take that. No obstacles and just head up until you get to the quadra-cairned summit. Some views. Best done as we did it as a snowshoe trip as it is not special but has good winter access. Sno-Park permit required. Seems driveable until off-trail portion in season with no gates. We dropped N from the summit to get back to the road and that worked OK.
