Description
Mount Defiance is known for its spectacular array of wildflowers, which bloom on south-facing slopes from early to mid-July. Views of Mt. Rainier and the Snoqualmie River valley are breathtaking on a clear day. An unsigned boot trail scrambles up the west ridge to the summit of Mount Defiance, a 5584' peak. Continue ahead and down the back side of the mountain into the seldom-traveled valley of Thompson Lake.
