Central Cascades > Entiat Mountains/Lake Chelan

Our group had this planned for months and we were not disappointed. The 14 or so miles to where the scrambling starts is in excellent condition. Lots of switchbacks, but the elevation gain was even and very managable with good pacing. Once the trail ends, there are red arrows pointing the way to the top. It's a good idea to have a helmut as there is some lose rock and one can bump their head on the occassional overhang. Look for the antenna that sits at the summit when possible and you know you're heading in the right direction. We were lucky to have had a beautiful day with stunning views because the people who went the next day were greeted with hail and clouds.
