View across the highway toward the trailhead, seen ahead.

Relatively tame start to the hike.

And a nice flat ridge walk for a time.

The trail becomes rockier.

Some light Class 2.

A would-be overlook down toward Upper Cascade Lake.

Ascending more steeply now on the bouldery trail.

Heading up the steepest portion of the hike next to an exposed slabby rock face.


Some pretty mosses along the trail.


View back down the steep stuff.

The trail lightens up a bit as it continues ascending north along the ridgeline.

Another would-be overlook.




Summit of Pitchoff Mountain, no view.
