Mt. Pilchuck

Mt. Pilchuck is the closest mountain to my house (~40 min. to the trailhead) with a pretty easy 3 mile 2,000 ft. climb to the summit. I've climbed it more than any other peak (5 times in one week once - when doing multiple laps/day), normally to back-country ski in the spring. I love the views out to the Puget Sound and back into the central Cascades from the summit.
