This summit turned out to be on land owned by Weyerhauser and the parameters for use did not make it doable for me on this day.

Weyerhauser allows access from February 1st to August 30, with out a permit, and all other times a permit is required.  You must hike in or Mountain Bike in (which I was not prepared for this time), an unknown distance, which I am guessing to be up to two miles.  

I will return some time when I have a bit more time and planning for hiking, running, or mountain biking in.

You can access the property during non business hours by parking at the gate.  That is likely where you should park anyway during business hours.

Weyerhauser was nice about it, they just don't allow private vehicles on to their land..

DIRECTIONS: 

From Interstate-5 in Washington State, Take Exit #52, Go East.  Take a left on Burma Rd, right after North Bound on-ramp.  You will reach the Weyhauser Gate within 1 mile.  That is where you would park so your vehicle does not get locked in....
