Table of contents

Hex Mountain Trail leads you to the summit of Hex Mountain. The trail is 7.2mi long, rated as hard, and moderately trafficked. It’s not very shaded, so prepare accordingly for sunny days. You’ll enjoy views of Cle Elum Lake and the surrounding mountains. The trailhead can be a touch hard to find, so we recommend downloading the GPS track.

Route Description for Hex Mountain Trail

Hex Mountain is a summit that’s fairly easy to complete. Although the trail is hard, it’s steady and non-technical. It is a bit unforgiving on hot days, so bring plenty of water. Poles can be helpful, especially on the final push to the summit.

The hike starts on a wide gravel road. After a fairly steep climb around the 1.6 km mark, a trail marker indicates where the hiking route continues. The shade starts about two-thirds of the way in, so you’ll get some relief from the sun (if it’s out). As you approach the summit, the trail steepens. Push on to earn panoramic views from the top. When you’re ready, you’ll follow the same trail back down to the trailhead.

Getting to the Hex Mountain Trail Trailhead

The trailhead for the Hex Mountain Trail is on Salmon la Sac Road.
