Cloudy Pass Trail

This route within Glacier Peak Wilderness is on a good grade for the first 3 miles, staying in the valley of Railroad Creek. It goes around Hart Lake (4 miles) and switchbacks up to Crown Point Falls, Lyman Lake (8 miles), and on to Cloudy Pass.

At 3.2 km, this is a short, accessible outing suitable for most fitness levels. Expect to complete it in around 42 minutes at a comfortable pace.

As a linear trail, this route has distinct start and end points. Return transport is worth arranging in advance unless you plan to walk back the same way. Look for the TR 1256.3 trail markings to stay on the official route.

A Regional Walking Network (RWN) route, this trail weaves through the regional landscape connecting villages, viewpoints, and countryside.
