Hex Mountain is a 5034 ft summit in Okanogan-Wenatchee, delivering a scenic 360-degree view of the forest, Cle Elum Lake, Mount Rainier, the Teanaways, and other nearby peaks. The scenery is very dynamic, with wildflowers blooming in early seasons, and features a snow-covered landscape in winter. The hike there is a consistent incline, with a 2329 ft elevation gain, leading you to the ridge of the mountain. During the winter it is required to have a SnoPark Permit, and the roads are subject to seasonal closure, you can have more information here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/okawen/recreation/recarea/?recid=57781&actid=24

To get to the top of Silver Peak requires a little bit of category 2 scrambling. You do loose tree coverage when the scrambling starts, so ensure you have enough water!

Elbow Peak is reached via the multi-user Yellow Hill trail, but you have to work to reach the expansive views. The lack of shade makes this a hot hike, even on a cool day. The route climbs through a stark silver and black forest, burned in fires past, with a stunning wildflowers. Spring is the best time for flowers, views, and stillness. Avoid mid/late summer with the oppressive heat and motorcycles and be sure to wear orange in the fall with hunters.

Davis Peak is a challenging hike with a big payoff: a 360-degree panorama of more than 10 Cascades peaks. A false summit can lure hikers off the main trail. Keep an eye on the trail. If it suddenly turns into a rocky scramble, you’ve gone too far. Backtrack to rejoin the main trail as it drops to the northwest, off the ridge and down into a bowl. The route traverses across the bowl and a snow-fed creek before switchbacking up to the next ridgeline.

Mount Margaret is a peak located in the southwestern region of Kittitas County of Washington State. The true summit of the mountain is located just outside of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness boundary, although the closest lakes to the mountain are located within that wilderness area. Mount Margaret receives plenty of snow for winter snow climbs and plenty of dry heat for summer day hikes. If you are looking for a slightly easier route, you can skip the summit and just take the trail heading to the lake.

Alta Peak is a classic summit that is located in the Alpine Lakes Region. Home to stellar views, Alta Peak is a popular destination for those want to bag a beautiful peak along with checking out the amazing Rachel Lake. One of the major advantages of this mountain is that it is only 12 miles roundtrip and the technical difficulty of this peak during summer is barely Class 2, with only one small section of exposure on a narrow ridge near the top. In summer this narrow ridge will only require one to use a little caution on their way to the summit. However with a coating of snow this mountain can get very sketchy very quick. It is an ideal late summer-early fall summit to go for because the trail up is then snow-free and the berries are out towards the high country. As you pass Lake Lillian, there is a short steep pitch that travels along the lakes edge and requires more sure-footedness.

Great vantages and awesome views. Would be a fun backpack and camping location other peaks and trails nearby in trail loop + the lake. Will definitely revisit on a less wildfire and smoke obscured day, higher altitude views better with less smoke. Adds a cool effect but, rather it be clear.

The Four Brothers are a stunning rock formation towering above you while you continue to hike along a very rocky section of the trail. The views will make up for your effort. The summit got its name in the 1890s from the brothers John, Tom, Vic, and Lawrie Denny, some miners who lived in a cabin at the base of the four peaks.
