Startup Mountain
Central Cascades
updated 2 weeks ago
Startup Mountain's trail is clear of snow and suitable for all vehicles as of September 8. The trail itself is a logging road in good condition, offering views of Mount Baring, Index, and Persis. While generally seeing more horses than hikers, one report from September 8 noted an annoying horsefly as the only significant nuisance. The trail is short with minimal gain, leading to a viewpoint; the true summit requires additional bushwhacking.
