While camping nearby we thought we would take a drive. The view both to the North and South was beautiful. We could see Mt. Baker, Seattle, Tacoma, Mt. Rainier. Can be windy so be prepared.

I was VERY hesitant to do this hike after reading reviews online. It seemed like a lot of the beautiful pictures I had seen were from the summit and to get there, you'd have to use the system of ropes and ladders that start at the end of the maintained trail. I'm terrified of heights and was worried my fear would result in my friend and I putting in all the work to get so close just to have to turn around. But we went for it anyway and we're so glad we did! The hike shares a trailhead with the Marymere Falls trail. Once you see the giant rock (you can't miss it) there's a sign indicating the start of the Storm King Trail. From there, you're basically climbing straight up. It's a rough ~2 miles of switchbacks until you finally break clear and get your first glimpse of Crescent Lake. That view alone was worth the whole hike. You get a few more view points until you the reach the end of the maintained trail. There's a sign warning you that going further is at your own risk. We took one look at the ropes and decided to pass- we had already been well rewarded. The hike down was really hard on the knees. I'd recommend hiking poles if you have them and definitely a good pair of hiking boots. The trail is rocky and can be very slippery coming down.
