Hex Mtn offers sweeping views of the Wenatchee Mountains, Cascades, and Cle Elum Lake directly below it. Though there is a summer trail, snowshoe ascents are more popular because there is good access, dry snow, and low avalanche hazard. From the plowed-out parking area, it is necessary to walk along the highway for a few hundred feet before coming to an unplowed logging road on the right. Stay on the main road past numerous junctions, coming to the start of the summer trail at 1.7 miles. Barring one clear-cut zone with notoriously high winds, the rest of the way to just beneath the summit is in evergreen forest. The trail pops out into an open meadow and the summit is just ahead. Watch for cornices near the summit area.
