A routefinding scramble to the summit of a mountain up the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River. Climbing, gear, and routefinding experience required.
Mount Price's mostly forested Southern slopes stretch 4000' vertical feet above the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River, lending the illusion of greater prominence. While dwarfed by neighboring Big Snow Mountain, Mount Price stands on its own when viewed from many other peaks in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
Huckleberry Mountain and Chikamin Peak loom near Hester Lake, and as you gain altitude, a ridgeline appears, allowing hikers glimpses of Lemah Mountain and Summit Chief.
