Sleeping Beauty Hike

Overview

From the Trout Lake Valley, the profile of Sleeping Beauty resembles a maiden in repose, her petrified locks cascading down the south slope, her tears no doubt the bubbling source of Skull Creek. The short, steep hike up here, mostly switchbacking in shady woods until you get to the last tightly coiled section of the ascent, is a good family outing and rewards with expansive views of the Cascades, the spine of Indian Heaven, and the settled valleys to the south. Hike early or late and you will avoid most other visitors and perhaps also get a glimpse of one of Sleeping Beauty 's permanent residents, a shy mountain goat!
