Thorp Mountain Lookout via Thorp Creek, No Name Ridge - Thorp Mountain — Wednesday, Jul. 9, 2008

Snoqualmie Region > Salmon La Sac/Teanaway

I decided to get up early to go somewhere before work, and this ended up pushing it. It took about 2 hours to the trailhead from Seattle, so this should be an all-day trip. Park near a gate on the road that says ""bridge out,"" it's not really marked other than that. Bring a pole or stick to cross Thorp creek where the bridge is out, as there is only a small log. The lower creek trail is fine, it starts getting steep maybe 1.5 miles in and climbs nicely up to the junction with the ridge trail. You will need a map to get the junctions right, as the signs have been destroyed and some routes are hard to find. I would have been lost without a map and compass. The top was amazing, best views I've seen in a while. The summit was right on the crest of the weather breaking, so looking west was cloudy but east was clear. I highly recommend this trail, there was just a little bit of snow on the scrambling route up that confused me a little.
