Route Description for Icicle Ridge via Fourth of July Creek Trail
Icicle Ridge Trail is a steep, challenging hike. This approach is longer and harder than the traditional route, so only pick this one if you’re game for a challenge. It’s a consistent uphill battle, so bring your poles and prepare for a sweaty trip. We love this hike when the fall colors are out. We strongly recommend bringing poles for this hke.
Begin from the trailhead. The way to the top is simple, if not easy. You’ll follow too many switchbacks to count up, up, and up. There are no intersecting trails to consider until you’re atop the ridge, so just keep going. At the top, turn left onto the ridge summit and take a well-earned rest, reveling in the views before it’s time to descend.
