DESCRIPTION:
WE HAVE ADDED THE AREAS SHERIFF’S EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS FOR EACH TRIP WRITE UP UNDER THE RANGER DISTRICT INFO. IF AN EMERGENCY OCURRS, EVALUATE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES AND CALL ONLY IF NEEDED.The trail is very well signed for the first 2.5 miles. In the logged area (a blight on the timber industry) the aforementioned flagging is pretty scarce; just continue eastbound along the southern periphery of the logged area and you'll find the trail without too much problem. Don't take any of the southbound roads. Once past the logged area the trail is very well maintained and easy to follow. This summit does not offer the spectacular views that my other four Lake Pend Oreille summits offered, but it is an outstanding hike nonetheless. The silence up here is deafening!
