I thought I would do an update and pull together the two trip reports for this summit.

It is 9.5 miles round trip and 1200 feet of gain from the gate to the summit.
This makes it a very nice biketavation as the slope is usually managable on the bike with a few hike a bikes here and there. The road is good gravel and goes all the way to the top. The views are wonderful.
There is a gate at about 46.0829, -123.8336, and there is room to park a couple of cars without blocking the gate. The summit requires a free permit issued by Nuveen Natual Capital, previously known as L&C Timberlands. (https://nncpermits.com/PermitHome.aspx)
