Thorp Mountain via Knox Creek — Sunday, Jun. 7, 2020

Went to do Thorp Mountain via Knox Creek on Sunday June 7th. Knox creek road is two miles after turning off the main FS road, but due to the road being rough only able to make it up 1 to 1.2 miles, if you car has high clearance you'll be able to make it past the obstacles and smooth sailing to TH. From the trailhead up the slope it's pretty straight forward, just follow the trail. At about a mile from the TH you will see a couple pockets of snow that are easy to traverse. Once near the Kachess Ridge junction you'll be in a bit of snow, no technical diffculty, but will need route finding ability since no trail is visible. Up to the Thorp Creek junction there is snow, but the exposed spots are snow free. After the Thorp Creek junction there is a bit of snow to travel over, but nothing technical. The last bit to the summit is straight forward. I highly recommend this route to anyone looking to shorten the hike to Thorp who has GPS data and doesnt mind snow travel. Brought spikes, but did not require use.
