Beware: Starting at end of bridge, turning left towards Annette Lake TH (Silver Peak), Sno-Park Pass now required (multiple signs posted, but NW Forest Service website show only north side of I-90 requires Pass). Right turn on start of Tinkham Rd. had no snow and gate was opened. We drove to standard start on FR 5510 to start closed road hike towards right turn into forest, up modest ridge straight line to summit: 2700' gain, 6.3-ish miles round trip.
