The trail continues up the ridge passing several tarns before it meets the PCT, elevation 5600 at the base of Cathedral Rock. The route next follows the PCT east and down many switchbacks to Deep Lake, elevation 4382. From here many opportunities exist from short hikes to making a loop and passing Waptus Lake and coming out by Cayuse Horse Camp or following the PCT south to Snoqualmie Pass. Directions: Drive 1-90 east to Salmon la Sac exit and go north
passing Cle Elum Lake and follow Cle Elum River to end of road,
