Burton DeGroot

Great place to hike. With 2 summits, and 2 different viewpoints from each one. Park at the Mt Wells parking lot. Then hit the trail. You will cross the flowline, then the road. Just keep following this well marked trail. When you get to what seems to be the summit take a look. Such a wonderful view of the Sierra city, Mt Finlayson, and Mt Mcdonald right next to it. On a good day Mt Baker is in plane site. Then head into the trees for the second viewpoint that brings you face to face with Mt Mcdonald to the west and the strait to the south and east. Wonderful trees. Rated as an A2 hike. (A for Sierra Club caloric value, and 2 for Yosemite Decimal System)

Amazing views, love this place. You just have to go! The parking lot is a bit small, so it's important to car pool if you can. The hike is 20 min or less, with the reward of views that are hard to beat in Victoria let alone the World. Not often are you able to see 270 deg views from a 20 minute hike!
