Description

The views from Round Pass are hard to leave, but the reward gained by attaining Emerald Ridge prove even better.

Starting from Round Pass itself, Round Pass trail heads east, descending gradually above Westside Road. The mid-section of this trail is considerably steep, so place your feet carefully. To finish, the trail mellows out again and reaches an intersection with South Puyallup.
