Icicle Ridge Trail #1570

Pass abundant wildflowers as you climb your way up to the top of Icicle Ridge for big views of the surrounding landscape on this popular hike.

The trail begins from a small parking lot just off Icicle Road. With little ceremony, the route begins a long series of switchbacks that relentlessly climb up the shoulders of the ridge, offering no reprieve until you reach the ridgeline. As you climb, clusters of trees offer welcome shade while breaks in the tree cover provide a window into Icicle Creek Valley in the distance.

There's a lot more to Icicle Ridge, and you can learn all about it in Alpine Lakes Wilderness: The Complete Hiking Guide, and Washington Wildflower Hikes: 50 Destinations. You'll find a trail map, route descriptions, history, and more for this and many other hikes throughout the State. Help support hikingwithmybrother.com and the work we do by picking up a copy!
