Water can be scarce.
Boil all water before using. Pack and saddle stock are permitted. The trail gradually climbs the ridgeline with views of the Duckabush Valley, Mt. Jupiter, The Brothers, and Hood Canal. The trail switchbacks about eight times up the ridge through salal and rhododendrons to the side of the ridge and then climbs less steeply toward the summit of Mt. Jupiter. After five miles, the trail becomes rougher and more open.
