5 /5 Matthew Draggoo: I grew up on this mountain, long before it was an organized trail system. As a kid in the 80s you could find buckets of crystals near Blackrock. With population growth and trail usage, something had to be done. The people of Wenatchee and all the groups and entities involved have done a wonderful job. Spring is my favorite time to enjoy. Just make certain you take your plastic water bottles and plastic to go bags of dog detritus with you when you leave. Enjoy! Also, if you want to help keep this place pristine, you can volunteer or donate money.
