Not much to see here. If you want a moderate, vegetation heavy hike thru the woods, then this hike is for you. If you are looking forward to a scenic view once you summit the trail, sadly you will be very disappointed. No such view exists. Nice winding trail thru dense woods nonetheless, although if you choose to come down via the steep grade of the gravel road your better off walking backwards to save your calves or simply jump back on the woodsy trail. Much More scenic hikes available nearby. Choose one of them instead.

I almost died trying to get to the top (noobie). Great exercise but the top doesnt have a great view, the view is blocked by trees. One of the locals told me there is a great view of Mt. Rainer if I take a different route down but I didnt try it because my car was towards a different direction.On the way down the road forks so you better know where you came from or you will end up on the other side of the mountain. This hike was great to enjoy nature and work up an appetite for waffles when I get home. :-)

If your looking for an easy walking trail, the back side of Mount Peak is for you! Also, if youre looking for a great run, start at the parking lot and head to the top.• Gravel Road + Trails are in great condition.• Friendly people (for the most part).• Dog friendly.• Parking lot is spacious and well kept -- if the weather is sunny the parking lot can get 90% full!The trails are clean, but please pack out your trash!

Great family friendly hike. The trails were well maintained and I liked that the trail has a parking lot and restrooms.

If it is your first time and you havent hiked steep terrain in awhile, take it slow. The views on the backside are amazing! Love this trail

This is a great place for hiking and a picnic

Perfect 1-1.5 mile, one way, work out. A great day trip or everyday hike. Several routes to the top. Great views.

Nice easy hike with some good views.

I love Mt Peak! I have been hiking there for 11+ years. I love the trees, animals and the fresh air and of course the exercise

Awesome view of mount Rainier. The way back killed my knees

Great views and kid friendly.

Great work out and pretty views

Good trails, but not for weak ankles. Loved the views and other hikers

Decent hike. 2.0 round trip. Awesome view of the valley at the top.

My go to home for a good, quick work out. Close to home.

Great trail close by to get a bit of fresh air

Nice park with steep and several trails that loop around the peak.

Love this hike and the new parking lot is so much better than parking one the side of the street. Views from the top ate incredible

Nice trails but more signs would help

Hiked the back side on 4th to an overlook and watched the fireworks from Rainier school, Buckley and all points WestGreat show!

Great spot for a day hike! Not much of a view at the top, but it’s close, easily accessible, and a decent workout.

Good place to go for a hike

Best short close hike

Love mt peak... Just wish people would pick up their dogs business off the trail.

The best set of hour long trails through scenic views and amazing vistas you can find. Gain 1,100 feet in elevation to about 1,800 total height above sea level in this 2.2 mile hike on a steeper north side trails or enjoy the south side that is 3.3 miles but offers areas of relief that help you catch your breath along the way. So whether you want short and steep or longer and a bit more gradual, Pinnacle Peak has it all for enthusiastic and experienced hikers alike.

There are a number of hikes at Pinnacle Peak Park. The main hike from the south side is the easiest, with a graded, gravel road taking you most of the way to the top. On a clear day the views of Rainier would be fantastic. The hike on the north side is a killer, make sure you have the fitness level before attempting.

This is not a moderate trail. Though we may have gotten lnto another trail since there were not many signs to guide you and there is minimal reception up there.

One of the cleanest hiking trails around!

Great hiking location without the long drive. There are multiple trails to choose from, with some trails more challenging than others. There are multiple areas throughout the trails to get a great view. Once you reach the peak, the view is a bit disappointing, but still rewarding.

My favorite quick hike. The new parking is Great!

The hike isnt very exciting to start with- mostly a hike up a gravel road. Maybe there are other paths off to the side that we were unaware of. Once in the woods, towards the top, it is very beautiful.

Beautiful views, the trial isnt that hard at all and great for people new to hiking.

Great hike! Steeper than I realized, but doable for a beginner.

Lots of trails to explore . Definitely need to come back

I love hiking up Pinnacle Peak because its right in my back yard and I can be hiking within 10 minutes of leaving my house. With a roughly 1000 ft gain and two trailheads, this place is a perfect place to unwind after a long day at the office.

We enjoy hiking here all the time. Great place for an afternoon hike.

Just about killed me but it was worth it

Good place to workout and have fun!

Great place for a short - but difficult - hike up Mt. Peak (or Mt. Pete or Pinnacle Peak - Ive heard it referred to by different names).

I love the scenery

Great area to get in weeknight workouts.

Great place to hike! 1553 elevation gain & 3 miles on the backside of the mountain.

Good workout. Not very scenic

Great hike for exercise.

There are great views as you keep climbing

Its a great place to get in a good workout

Got to spend the better part of 2 hours hiking around Mt Peak this AM. My wife kept the pace up so that it was challenging, but she also slowed down her usual pace to allow for the old codger!

Great short hike.

I like the new parking

Best exercise on the plateau!

Nice

Beautiful area

Great run...

Awesome workout.

Love this mountain!

Good training hike

Fantastic hike
