Route Description for Cispus Pass Loop
The Cispus Pass Loop is a great longer day hike or shorter backpacking adventure. This hike offers awesome views of Mount Adams and the various lakes in the area on a well-defined, easy-to-follow path. Celebrate your hike with a dip in Walupt Lake if you want!
You can do this hike either way, but we’ll describe it clockwise. Beginning from the trailhead, take the trail to your left that heads up Nannie Peak. It’s a fairly steep start, but once on the ridge, you’ll be heading gently downhill with great views all the way to Sheep Lake. From the lake, you’ll turn roughly south to traverse just underneath the opposite ridge to two unnamed lakes, where you’ll keep right to head across the river valley and along the shore of Walupt Lake to the trailhead.
