The steepest pitch reaches 28 percent, against an average of 133 feet of gain per mile. On our gain-and-distance scale it falls in the very strenuous band. The nearest town is North Bend, 29 miles away.

The trail

Spectacle Lake is an alpine freshwater lake located on the northern skirt of Chikamin Peak and Lemah Mountain in Kittitas County on its western border with King County, Washington. Because of its proximity to surrounding peaks and mountains at the heart of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, the lake is a popular area for hiking, camping and fishing cutthroat trout.
