Quick Facts

The Pyramid Peak trail is accessed from Camp David Junior Road on the North shore of Lake Crescent. The trail and climbs 2,600 feet in 3.5 miles (792 meters in 5.6 km); one section of the trail crosses a steep, exposed landslide. Like Mount Storm King, the summit has a fantastic panoramic view of the lake and Strait of Juan de Fuca from above, but the hike is longer and much more gradual.
