Vision Quest Pits off Wyeth, Apr 15, 2017

The top of the rockfield near the pits is probably the single best viewpoint on Wyeth. I've visited it a couple of times - once coming up from Shellrock (very brushy) and another time via Lindsey Ridge.

Need an excuse? Spin the wheel! (I'm convinced this is how gov't appropriations process actually works + inelastic demand).

Jokes aside, this is more informative:

I went over to Washington side for a wrap photo on which I've marked the highlights. ($2.00 x 2 for crossing Bridge of the Gods - I thought that thing was paid for already)

Funny. After our hike we also headed to the WA side to get some route photos and I scrounged around to find $1.00 worth of change for the BOTG. The attendant looked at me funny when she counted out only $1.00 and told me it was now $2.00!

Next time, snag a coupon book. I bought one before the tolls went up; 20 tickets for $15, plus free passage that day. They're intended for locals who cross frequently, while sticking it to the tourists. (They may have raised the price to $20?)

Yes, it's $20 for 20 coupons now, as I noted three posts above yours, but now a $1.00 savings per use rather than $0.25!

D'oh! Missed that.

Definitely worth it.

Cool outing! The one time I climbed Wyeth trail (w/ KepNW) I recall coming across a really neat cairn (I hate cairns) up near the jct w/ the Gorton Creek trail. It was really large, offtrail, and looked pretty old. No views on that day, though we did hit snow and came across Jack's size 15(?)(!) footprints.



Lots of this:
