Hemlock Peak, located between Bryant Peak and The Tooth on the ridge that also includes Denny Mountain and Chair Peak, has a wooded summit but provides great views of the closer peaks as well as of Kaleetan and Snoqualmie. The route follows the Denny Creek trail and passes Keekwulee Falls and Snowshoe Falls before going cross-country 400' below Hemlock Pass.
