If your a newbie Chinook Pass is a good place to go this time of year. You have 2 peaks and many different lines to chose from, its easy access and parking is not bad. I was up there last weekend with my son and it was great. Still 10-20 feet at the road level, the best place to park is the parking on the east side of the summit. Lots of others hiking so its not hard to see where to go.
Good tips...how's the Avalanche hazard here in July? I'm going solo, with no backcountry snow experience beyond resorts; any must reads before going up?
