Little Devil Peak, Monogram Lake — Thursday, Oct. 1, 2020

Put this one at the top of your list of hikes to do when the smoke clears.  Often written off because of the big elevation gain, trail is so good you'll hardly notice.

Cascade River Road Mile 7, hike Lookout Mountain trail almost 3 miles to signed R on trail to Monogram Lake.  Where trail starts to drop to the Lake, look for path up the ridge.  Climbs to the flat crest and traverses toward Little Devil Peak.

Smoky conditions obscured the 360 degree views, every bit as good as Cascade Pass, Maple Pass, Hidden Lake Lookout.  Massive glacier with lake at it's foot below the end of the ridge, may be accessible.

When visibility is better I will try to get across to Little Devil Peak.  Plenty of water, last is where trail enters meadow.  About 8 hours total, 10 miles, 6000+/-.
