Three Way Peak
Three Way Peak is located at the border of Mount Rainier National Park and the Crystal Mountain ski area. It is a challenging scramble. Though the route is largely on trail and footpath, the final ridge approach has modestly challenging rocky outcroppings and some exposure on the summit block.
NOTES
Three Way Peak is named for being on a triple divide between the Crystal Creek, Morse Creek and Elizabeth Creek drainages. It is generally approached from the Pacific Crest Trail off Highway 410. The peak is also a backcountry ski destination in the winter time.
