Kelly Butte — Sunday, Jul. 6, 2025

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410
Kelly Butte by Arkitekt

A fantastic hike for a younger hiker or someone with a bit less experience. The reward for effort is right up there. Excellent views, a fire lookout and a short hike make it a welcome objective for hikers of all skill levels.

The road in was a bit rougher than I had expected from some reviews saying it was in great shape. There was quite a bit of washboard and some larger potholes.

We heard and saw a lot of people target shooting on the way in. On our way out there were 3 sheriffs cars parked and it looked like they were issuing fines.
