Description Suggest change

Approach on the popular, well maintained Pinnacle Saddle trail. The final pinnacle trail wanders across somewhat loose rock with patches of scree.

Getting There Suggest change

South of Reflection Lakes in Mt Rainier National Park. Signed Pinnacle Saddle trailhead on the main road with a large parking area, and overflow areas to the east. 1.3 mile approach up until the end of the official trail. Go left at the T-junction at the end. Pinnacle is the immediate peak to the east. Go another ~1/4 mile until a fork: the left option leads up to Pinnacle Peak, the right runs laterally to Castle Peak.
