Planning on meeting at the Tibbets Valley Park & Ride (exit 15 off of I-90) leaving at 6:30 am for an approximate two hour drive via I-90 to the trailhead with an outhouse style toilet. A quick restroom break in Cle Elum might be preferred by some. A post hike meal at Beau's in Cle Elum is planned.
No snow when we scouted it on Wednesday 5/29 and Thursday 5/30. The route has a pretty consistent climb of about 500 feet/mile. I used poles on the ascent but only on one wide stream crossing coming down. Patti and I took 3.5 hours up and 2.25 hours down, including breaks with about 40 minutes at the pass for lunch.
A Green Trails 208SX map includes the route as well as different peaks visible on the hike.
