Mount Dickerman
(The Glacier Peak Area)

Note: This trail review has pending updates.


Jon Lee
Though this is my favorite winter time hike for practicing snow climbing, it is often in-accessible in winter and spring because of closure of the Mountain Loop Highway at Deer Creek. During summer months it's a very popular hike and in fall it's blueberry heaven. You have to pay to get to those blueberries though. The trail is steep with many switchbacks through deep forest before breaking out into open meadows to the summit for the last mile. The trail reaches a long ridge with a small bump of a summit that offers excellent views of near-by peaks such as mount Forgotten, Twin Peaks, Devil's Peak and Devil's Thumb, Vesper and Sperry, and that big snowcone Glacier Peak.
