Kachess Ridge - Snowshoeing
The Kachess Ridge Trail includes an initial rapid ascent, spectacular
vistas, and a very narrow section along a precipitous ridge. The view
from Thorp Mountain is a 360-degree vista of the surrounding Cascade
Mountains, including Mount Rainier and Mount Adams in the distance.
There is also a bird’s-eye view of Kachess and Little Kachess Lakes.

the South Cascades spread away to the southern horizon with Mount
Rainier dominating the skyline
