Parking/Access Road Notes
Parking/Access Road Notes: I parked on Rt. 27 in a pull off just north of Natanis Point Road. I had driven in a little ways, but found big washouts and no parking. There could be roads in from 27 to the north, but I assumed they were gated. Active logging is taking place and they are coming in north of where I entered.

Comments
Comments: I walked in on the road, soon turning on the Arnold foot trail headed east and then following it a short distance. I bushwhacked up to the east peak, using heard paths and open woods and crossing some old roads. The highpoint is recognized. I followed the ridge south and then headed for the main peak. The climb to the main peak was steep and a little thicker. Highpoint is recognized and there is a nice view ledge. I bushwhacked towards the west peak in open woods. Towards the col, there was some very high low-growth. Easy bushwhacking along the ridge and recognized summits of the two west peaks. From the west, west peak I turned down and bushwhacked towards the road that comes out of the west peak/main peak col. I followed this road down to an old road that connects to the road in from Natanis Pond. I don't recommend the road as it is quite overgrown, but it worked.
