The trails in the north district of the Mt Tahoma network follow logging roads along high ridgetops with spectacular and incredible views of their namesake mountain and the rest of the south central Washington Cascades, including Mt St Helens. The relatively high elevation and favorable position west of the Cascade crest leads to heavy snowfall but also many cloudy days. The route shown here goes along a groomed trail from the plowed parking area to a lookout tower on Puyallup Ridge, passing the Copper Creek Hut, which can be rented out, on its way.
