From Randle, go south at the St Helens signs. In one mile at a major Y, take FR23 (Cispus Road) to the left. Go 22 miles almost to the end of the pavement. A signed road to the right will say Sunset Trail. Take this road to the right and follow it up 5 miles to the trailhead. This last road was repaired at the end of 2019 after years of closure.

Route

Follow the trail 0.9 miles to a split. Go left traversing over and down slightly to a pass. At the pass, take another left. Follow trail to just below Jumbo Mountains north ridge (5,400 feet), then leave the trail and scramble to the summit, some bushwhacking likely.
