1.   Ingalls Peak - 7662'			Back to Peak List
Trip Date:	June 29, 2009
Trip Report:	Ingalls Peak Trip Report
Photos:	Ingalls Peak Photos
GPS Track:	Not Available
Trailhead:	Esmeralda Basin Trail #1394… located at the end of the North Fork Teanaway River Road (aka FS-9737). Click on Google Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.
Comments:	This is a technical climb… with the most difficult move being rated at 5.2. I’ve known Charlie Hickenbottom since our college days at the University of Washington… and he was kind enough to babysit me on this climb. While this trip starts at the Esmeralda Basin Trailhead, we only hiked a half-mile on it… then used Ingalls Way Trail #1390 to take us over Ingalls Pass into Headlight Basin… where we left the trail and headed cross country to the col between South Ingalls and North Ingalls… then roped up and started climbing.

From the South Ingalls summit we followed the ridge south toward Fortune Peak… where at times we had to give back some elevation on the east side of the ridge before reaching the Fortune Peak summit… then completed the loop portion of our hike by passing by Lake Camp Fire Girls on our way back to the Ingalls Way Trail… reaching it just below Ingalls Pass.

Comments:	Same trailhead as above. On this trip we used a different route up to South Ingalls. From Headlight Basin we went up to the south ridge of South Ingalls and then did the Class 3 route up to the summit which we usually use when coming down it. Leaving the summit we traced our steps back down the Class 3 terrain and went over to Fortune Peak before taking a direct route off of Fortune's south ridge to reconnect with Esmeralda Basin Trail #1394... which we followed back to the car.

Trailhead:	Esmeralda Basin Trail #1394… located at the end of the North Fork Teanaway River Road (aka FS-9737). Click on Google Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.
Comments:	This is a technical climb (Class 5.3 or 5.4)... where we found the crux of the climb to be the 160 foot rappel from the ledge above the chockstone down the gully to our packs. Plan on a long day... 12 hours car-to-car for our group of three. There isn’t much beta on this one, but Brett Dyson (aka b00) has a link on nwhikers that gives a very good description. While this trip starts at the Esmeralda Basin Trailhead, you only hike a half-mile on it… then use Ingalls Way Trail #1390 to take you over Ingalls Pass into Headlight Basin… where you will leave the trail and head for the gully that leads up to the notch between the north summit and east summit… then rope up.

Comments:	We stayed on the main trail for 3 miles until we reached a stream crossing at 4800' feet... where we left the main trail and headed up on fairly easy terrain, gaining the ridge between Navaho Peak and Little Navaho at 6600'... where we gave back 500 feet of elevation, as we worked our way over to the pass that separates the Falls Creek and Negro Creek drainages... then up the southwest ridge to the west summit of Three Brothers.

Comments:	We chose to go cross-country after a major stream crossing at ~4800 feet... and took a direct line up to the summit... and while we could have easily returned via the same route, we chose to make a partial loop out of the hike by returning via the path/trail that took us to Navaho Pass... where we connected with the Stafford Creek Trail... which we used to get back to our car.

GPS Track:	Hawkins Mountain GPS Track		Download GPS   Need Help?
Trailhead:	This is a backdoor route to Hawkins and is not an official trailhead. Drive through Roslyn and Ronald and continue on the Salmon La Sac Road for several miles... just before the road crosses the Cle Elum River, turn right on the unpaved FS 4330 and head steeply uphill... drive 4330 for 5 miles and turn right onto Road 138. Drive Road 138 for .3 miles to a junction... stay to the right at the junction and continue driving past a very large sign for the Boulder-DeRoux Trail for another .4 miles to the end of Road 138. Click on Bing Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.
Comments:	This backdoor route saves at least 5 miles of hiking when compared with starting at the Boulder DeRoux Trailhead located at the north end of the DeRoux Campground. You will have to gain 300 more feet of elevation, but that is a small price to pay when saving 5 miles of hiking. This route does require some cross-country hiking... however, it is not very brushy. I would recommend having a GPS for this route.

Comments:	Started at the Boulder DeRoux Trailhead located at the north end of the DeRoux Campground... and hiked past Gallaher Head Lake... then a half-mile or so on a dirt road... then left the road and worked our way up to the 6800 foot saddle between the main summit and east summit... then up to a false summit where we joined the backdoor route mentioned above... before going on over to the true summit. This route is 5 miles longer than the backdoor route mentioned above. Click on Bing Maps to get the directions from your starting point to the entrance of the DeRoux Campground. After turning into the campground you will still need to drive another half-mile or so to find the trailhead at the north end of the campground.

Comments:	We used a combination of the Boulder DeRoux Trail, 4WD Road 301 and 4WD Road 304 to reach the basin (~6200') on the south side of Hawkins Mountain... then up a boulder field and some loose scree to a notch on the east side of the Thimble. The last 60 feet to the summit is Class 3... with at least one Class 4 move... a hand line and 4 slings made this a lot more comfortable for us.

After walking Road 302 for a half mile, we hiked the N. Fork Fortune Creek Trail (#1339) to just below Van Epps Pass... where we continued to the pass on the County Line Trail (#1226.2)... then followed a path up the west ridge of Van Epps Peak to the summit. From the summit we followed the ridge toward Ingalls Peak for a half-mile before making a descending traverse over to Lake Ann... then followed the County Line Trail back to Van Epps Pass and traced our steps back down to the car.

The west tower involved a 20 foot, Class 5.5 crack in order to reach the summit... read the above trip report for a much more detailed description of the climb. Two members of our group also climbed the much easier east tower... and no one in our group climbed the middle tower. First ascents by Fred Dunham, Gene Prater and Jim Wickwire on October 1, 1961.

Comments:	We traveled the Beverly Creek Turnpike trail to where it junctions with the “Fourth Creek” trail… then went off trail and followed our noses up Bill’s Peak until we found good boot-path about half way up the peak which led us to the summit. On the return we made a loop out of the hike by hiking over to the Volcanic Neck... then followed Bean Peak's north ridge up to the Bean summit... then dropped into Bean Creek Basin and completed the loop portion of the hike by following Bean Creek Trail 1391.1 back to the junction with the Beverly Turnpike Trail... leaving a half-mile walk back to the car.

Comments:	Esmeralda Peak is a huge mountain… with several prominent high points along a ridge that stretches for more than two miles… from the west end above Gallaher Lake to the east end above the Esmeralda Basin Trailhead at the end of the North Fork Teanaway River Road. The highest points are the twin summits at the west end of the mountain… both triangulated at 6765 feet. It was so cold on this trip that we only went to the western-most of the twin summits which does house the summit register… however, if you want to insure that you tag the highest point, visit both of them.

After turning into the campground you will still need to drive another half-mile or so to find the trailhead at the north end of the campground.
Comments:	This peak is rarely done because the highest point is at the easier west end of the mountain, more than a mile away... 99.9 percent of this trip is off trail... although a portion of the trip is on an abandoned trail... and there are some game trails that can be used. We also did Esmeralda Peak - West Peak on this scramble.

Trailhead:	This is not really an official trailhead... drive east of Blewett Pass for 10.8 miles and look for a very subtle exit on the west side of Hwy 97... this unsigned exit is actually the south end of FS-7312... note that this road is no longer on the list of roads in the Wenatchee River Ranger District because it has deteriorated terribly over the years. At any rate, drive 7312 for a short distance and park where the road has started to collapse into Peshastin Creek. Click on Google Maps to get the directions from your starting point to where we parked to start the hike.
Comments:	This was a grueling trip... 14 hours car-to-car... 7.5 hrs to the summit, a 30 minute summit visit and 6 hours back to the car... 14.4 miles roundtrip, gaining 5221 feet of elevation. By far one of the most demanding hikes I have ever done. Very marginal trail even when it existed and bring your water shoes because there are two stream crossings (one by log and the other by foot).

Comments:	We started this loop hike from the end of Forest Service Road 9703, then hiked 4.2 miles on the Miller Peak Trail to the Miller summit (6402')... then off-trail for a half-mile as we followed Miller's east ridge down to connect with the County Line Trail (~5640')... then continued on the County Line Trail down to the saddle (~5000') between Miller Peak and Jester Mountain before heading up to the saddle (~5300') between Jester and Iron Bear... where we found the junction with the Teanaway Ridge Trail... which we followed a short distance over to the Iron Bear summit (5489')... then continued down the Teanaway Ridge Trail to the junction with the Iron Bear Trail... which we followed west back to our car. We also did Iron Bear on this trip... and since our route took us 150 feet of elevation gain below Jester Mountain, it would be very easy to also include Jester on this trip. Same trailhead as our 2005 trip above.

The only difference from the 2005 trip report is that on the way down from the summit we decided to remain on Miller's SW ridge from ~6070 feet to ~5540 feet before rejoining the trail for the last 3.3 miles back to the car. Using the ridge saved .3 miles of hiking... however, the fun, scrambly terrain of the ridge didn't really save any time.

Then returned to the DeRoux/Koppen saddle by continuing SW... where we found trail 1393.1... which we followed back to the DeRoux/Koppen saddle as we closed the loop portion of our hike.

Comments:	We started this loop hike from the end of Forest Service Road 9703, then hiked 4.2 miles on the Miller Peak Trail to the Miller summit (6402')... then off-trail for a half-mile as we followed Miller's east ridge down to connect with the County Line Trail (~5640')... then continued on the County Line Trail down to the saddle (~5000') between Miller Peak and Jester Mountain before heading up to the saddle (~5300') between Jester and Iron Bear... where we found the junction with the Teanaway Ridge Trail... which we followed a short distance over to the Iron Bear summit (5489')... then continued down the Teanaway Ridge Trail to the junction with the Iron Bear Trail... which we followed west back to our car. We also did Miller Peak on this trip... and since our route took us 150 feet of elevation gain below Jester Mountain, it would be very easy to also include Jester on this trip.

Comments:	Snow blocked our access to the Iron Bear Trailhead via FS-9714 so we parked just off of Highway 97 on a plowed portion of FS-9714... leaving a 3.2 mile road walk to the summer trailhead for Iron Bear. We also did Jester Mountain and Joker on this trip. Click on Bing Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.

Trailhead:	King Creek parking area... 9 miles north of Blewett Pass on Hwy 97... room for perhaps 6 cars. Click on Bing Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.
Comments:	The original plan was to do Iron Mountain from the same trailhead that we used for Serpentine Hill... however, our car got stuck in the snow... causing us to retreat and drive another half-mile north on Highway 97 to the King Creek parking area. There is a lot of road walking on this hike.

54.   Malcolm Mountain - 5480'			Back to Peak List

Park on the right side of the road and look for the trailhead sign on the left side of the road. Click on Bing Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.
Comments:	We also did Johnson Mountain on this hike/scramble.

Comments:	We drove to the Way Creek Trailhead #1235... at the end of the Jungle Creek Road (aka FS-9701)... however, the Jungle Creek Road is currently closed due to flood damage... which would add a 4 mile road walk to this trailhead. So, the Johnson Medra Trailhead mentioned above is the best choice until the road is repaired. Click on Bing Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.

Trip Date:	February 2, 2016

GPS Track:	Joker GPS Track		Download GPS   Need Help?
Trailhead:	This would be considered the winter parking area for the Iron Bear Trailhead... which requires a 3.2 mile road walk to reach the summer trailhead... as we parked (2946') just off of Hwy 97 at the junction with FS-9714... room for several cars to park in the plowed area. Click on Bing Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.
Comments:	If you are lucky, other snowshoers will have already created a trench on the 3.2 mile road... making your journey to the summer trailhead a lot easier. We also did Jester Mountain and Iron Bear on this trip... making for a nice trifecta of peaks.
Additional Joker Trips:
6.3.2012	Trip Report     Photos
Comments:	This is the same route that we did on February 2, 2016 above... but this time we were able to drive to the summer trailhead for Iron Bear... saving a total of 6 miles of road walking. We also did Iron Bear and Jester Mountain on this trip... making for a nice 3 summit day. Note that the trip report and photos for this trip refer to Joker as Point 5459 because the suggestion to name it "Joker" occurred in 2015.

GPS Track:	Howson Peak GPS Track		Download GPS   Need Help?
Trailhead:	We parked (2240') on the east side of Salmon La Sac Road... just north of the Cle Elum River Campground entrance. There is no trail sign, but it is the Howson Creek Trail. Click on Bing Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.
Comments:	This trail reaches Sasse Ridge in 3.5 miles... then continue south (away from Sasse Mountain) and follow the Sasse Ridge Trail #1340 as it goes across the summit of Howson Peak. We also did Sasse Mountain on our return from Howson Peak. A person could continue on the trail a short distance beyond Howson and include Peak 5159 on this hike and note that the Howson Creek Trail traverses 250 feet below "Not So Sasse Peak" on the way to Sasse Ridge.
Alternative Trailhead for Howson Peak:
Trailhead:	This hike could also be done from the (Hex Mountain) Trailhead.
Comments:	If you do choose to do Howson Peak from Hex Mountain, you might as well take the short side trip over to Peak 5159 which you find a half-mile before reaching Howson.

Trailhead:	We parked (2680') at the Mineral Springs Restaurant on Hwy 97. Be sure to ask the restuarant owner where you should park. Click on Bing Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.
Comments:	From the Mineral Springs Restaurant we crossed the highway and walked into the Mineral Springs campground... stayed on the main road through the campground... crossed Blue Creek in ~1 mile and then walked the groomed FS 9738 for ~2 miles... where we turned onto the groomed FS 9702 and walked ~2 more miles... where we put on our snowshoes and left FS 9702 at ~4400'... heading uphill to save more than a mile of road walking... reconnecting with FS 9702 in ~.5 miles... then walking FS 9702 for another mile to the Red Top Mtn trailhead... leaving another half mile to reach the summit (5361'). A shorter alternative at the beginning of the trip would be to park at the restaurant and then hike an eighth of a mile north along Highway 97 from the restaurant and take FS-9738... completely avoiding going through the Mineral Springs Campground. Also know that during the summer it is possible to drive FS-9738 and FS-9702 to the official Red Top Mountain Trailhead... leaving a half-mile hike to the summit.

Comments:	I basically did the same trip as the March 2009 trip above... except I did it as a X-C ski trip... leaving my skis at the Red Top Mountain Trailhead... and post-holing the half-mile to the summit.

Park on the right side of the road and look for the trailhead sign on the left side of the road. Click on Bing Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.
Comments:	We used a combination of the Johnson Medra Trail #1383, Jungle Creek Trail #1383.1 and Way Creek Trail #1235 to reach the west ridge of Johnson... then made a third-of-a-mile very easy scramble to the summit.

Trailhead:	We used the same parking spot that we used for (Hex Mountain) when there isn't any snow on the road... a short drive up Newport Creek Drive... parking at the closed gate. Click on Bing Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.
Comments:	We took the exact same route as if you were doing Hex Mountain... except when we reached Sasse Ridge, instead of turning right and heading for Hex, we turned left and followed the Sasse Mountain Trail for ~2 miles along Sasse Ridge... then left the main trail and made a quarter mile easy bushwhack up to the summit of Peak 5159... We also did Hex Mountain on this trip... and if we had had a little more daylight we could have easily continued on to Howson Peak on this hike.
Alternative Trailhead for Peak 5159:
Trailhead:	It looks like a person could park near the north entrance to the Cle Elum River Campground... then cross the Salmon La Sac Road and start hiking on the unsigned Howson Creek Trail #1349... which begins on an old road bed... and stays on the abandoned road until it crosses Howson Creek. Click on Bing Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.
Comments:	This trail reaches Sasse Ridge in 3.5 miles... then continue south (away from Sasse Mountain) and follow the Sasse Ridge Trail #1340 as it goes across the summit of Howson Peak... then continue on the trail another half-mile and make the short scramble up to the summit of 5159.

Trailhead:	We parked in the plowed area on the west side of Salmon La Sac Road... just before the road crosses Newport Creek. From the parking area make a short walk north on Salmon La Sac Road... cross Newport Creek, find Newport Creek Drive and head uphill on it. Click on Bing Maps to get the trailhead directions from your starting point.
Comments:	We made a loop out of the hike... however, I would recommend having a GPS because the area can be somewhat confusing due to lots of forest service roads... so take a good look at the first 6 photos that I provide above to make sure you reach the summer trailhead without floundering around.
