Central Cascades > Entiat Mountains/Lake Chelan

We took the shuttle from Stehekin, so began hiking around 9:00. A very nice trail. It gains 1000' every mile. Coon Lake is nothing to spend any time pausing at. We had to be back to the shuttle at 5:30, so no matter how far we had made, we had to turn back by about 2:30. By 1:30 we had made it to the basin below the peak at about 6500' and that was enough since we would run out of time before reaching the summit. This is a hard summit to do in a day from Stehekin, but a great trail. Highly recommended.
