Description

What a view! HikerS will be treated to a stunning view overlooking Lake Cushman, and only 4.5 miles away from the Mt. Ellinor Summit. Sit and stay awhile. This makes a great spot for a break in the middle of the hike from Big Creek Campground to Mt. Ellinor Ascent.

Half-Day Hike: Not far. From the map there seems to be some parking a few miles away.

Mostly Dry, Some Mud, Fallen Trees - Beautiful hike, some fallen trees along the path and one difficult/washed out spot. No water at our last campsite (Siberia, technically on a different path, but worth noting). Rivers and creeks seem a little low.
