Noble Knob Trail 1184
High alpine meadows, fields of wildflowers, great views of Mt. Rainier and gentle ascent make this trail an excellent hike. If you go early in the day you might catch glimpses of deer, elk and other wildlife along the trail. Many viewpoints on your way to the summit will keep your interest.
