Stay on the main trail if you want to take the 9 km trail, which will lead you down to a small pond before rising rather steeply. Your first lookout with be Brockton Point, which offers you a view of the waters of Indian Arm & Golden Ears Peak in the distance . On a clear day you can see Mount Baker in the distance. Passing Brockton Point and continuing along the trail, the trail will come to a fork for Elsay Lake. At this point, stay left. The trail veers west and then north on it's way to the 2nd. & 3rd. peaks. Be prepared for the occasional snow and ice and use caution. The terrain is steep.

A narrow trail leads to the bluffs, which are an easy climb to the top. A note of caution: Stay on the trails and be prepared for quick weather changes. Bring appropriate clothing and a good supply of water.
