Above camp 1 the trail climbs through forest and breaks out into meadows. The trail switchbacks up to the ridge crest on the east side and then crosses over to the steep slopes of the west side as shown here.

Looking east you see the valley of the North Fork of the Entiat below you. To the right you can see the rather benign western slope of Pyramid Mountain. From Lake Chelan, its eastern face is much more rugged. You can also see the peaks of the Chelan Summit in the far background.

You can see the meadows below where we spent our first night. The rusty bolt in the foreground is one of the anchors that held the old lookout down.

A few hundred feet below the trail's high point, we found an old sheepherder's camp. There wasn't much level ground but the old timers had chipped out a level area. Shelby got the idea of building a bench on the uphill side and we all pitched in carrying up large rocks from the stream beyond.
