Cascade Mountain from The Quarry/Squaw Peak Road

Trail Description

There is an ATV trail at the northeast end of the parking area road that you start on, it turns into a hiking trail that you have to follow carefully. That ends in some thick aspen that you have to make your way through roughly east. After you get down into the gully, follow the bottom of it uphill until you enter the chute proper. Climb up the rocky chute until you come to a large (5' diameter?) log laying in the chute where it opens up a little wider. Just above it is a ramp that cuts back to the south. At the top of the ramp head uphill to the rock face and scramble up the narrow chute. The hardest part is over once you are on top of the ridge at a small flat spot where there's an old fire pit with trash and a big dead tree standing. You can head up staying near the top of the ridge you are on until you hit the top ridge where you can see down the other side to the east. The peak is now about 0.75 mile to the north, stay up on the very top of the ridge except for a few spot where you have to duck under trees. - mscalora
