Bird Mountain Loop Hike

Overview

This hike begins at the northern end of Indian Heaven, fashioning a loop around the second highest prominence in the wilderness, craggy Bird Mountain . Although the trails run mostly through shady montane forest, you'll get a sampling of what Indian Heaven has to offer: mountain lakes, a volcanic ridge, views to Cascade peaks, small meadows, and huckleberries in season. The route is described in a clockwise fashion. If you want to get most of your elevation gain out of the way on the short but steep ascent of the Cultus Creek Trail, then you can do the loop counterclockwise from the Cultus Creek Trailhead on the north side of the Cultus Creek Campground.
