For some reason, Chuckanut Mountain was not on the top of my list for a 2 point summit. Two reasons were probably the long hike for two points, and uncertainty about going off trail to the summit. After not hiking for 6 weeks due to Covid-19 lock-downs, this was a great hike to enjoy being back on a trail. While a bit longer hike, the elevation gain is gradual and the final off-trail summit push is also gradual and easy to traverse.
Directions:
A rainy weekend in Western, WA led me to look for options on the Eastern side. Tim (KG7EJT) had done Baldy a week prior, and looked like a great option.
It took me 2 days to get my 4 contacts at Tolmie Peak. I drove an hour and a half from Buckley, WA down HI 162 to Mowich lake. I then hiked the 2.9 miles past Lake Euclid to Tolmie Peak and experienced strong winds and driving rain to get heard.
I bought my Rainier park pass on the way to Mowich lake and a Fee Stop, $20.
There is clean water at Lake Euclid and while the rain is falling so are the streams. there were 2 waterfalls along the trail.
