6 miles of hiking • 3250' elevation gain •
My brother had never climbed Mt. Ellinor before so with a fair weather picture predicted we headed out to the Lake Cushman area. One can now easily drive to the lower TH and that's where we started. Only way up still is via the winter route and the avalanche chute was in good shape. The climb from the bottom of the avalanche chute to the summit is around 1500' in .07 of a mile so its a steep one. With slushy snow its quite the work out. Sun came and went, as did the fog, so mostly limited views, still a great day in the mountains!
