SUMMARY:

The trail follows the old road for approximately 2.0 miles at which point it enters into the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area. The hike continues through old growth timber for 2.0 miles, until reaching the tree line of Dog Mountain. The last mile contours across sub-alpine meadows and slabs of granite. The maintained trail ends upon reaching the saddle, and hikers are rewarded with views to the north, east and south to Mt. Rainier. From the saddle, it is a quick scramble to either Anderson Lake or up the ridge to Dog Mountain.
