Day Hike - Mount Peak

All stretches of trail we took were in great shape, no obstacles.  A sign at the southern trailhead says the Cal Magnusson trail (north end) is closed, but it IS open, and the upper junction to it is not blocked. We did a counter-clockwise loop from the south, over the top, and continued down to the north trailhead. The previous washout has been repaired; it's back to the way it was and passing it is safe. We took the "Peak Trail" on the western slope back to the cars.

Our route up from the south was via the Rainier Trail (name according to gaiagps) along the eastern side. The final hundred feet or more is very steep, rocky, not maintained, and could be a falling hazard for inexperienced hikers - especially going downhill. The Cal Magnusson trail is quite steep, but maintained.
