(1) This is the trailhead, west side of hwy940, just a couple
of kilometers north of the Cataract
Creek Recreation Area.
(2) We hiked on the road for a bit then took the right split
(higher road - gated). After this road curves right, a visible
narrower trail emerges on the right. This trail enters the
forest and heads towards the objective.
(1) Here's the fork to gain the ridge, either 3.1km (straight),
or 1.3km. The shorter route was blocked off by dead branches
but the cairn was still in place.
(2) Of course we took the shorter route.
We took our time in hiking this mountain because both of us
were still in pain from hiking up Mt.
Burke the previous day.

The views upon reaching the ridge were breathtaking.
(2) The Fire Lookout was manned at that time and we didn't want to disturb
her. We had lunch farther down the heli-pad, enjoyed the view,
then went back down.
