Mt. Zion

On a rare clear February day in Washington, I climbed Mt. Zion. It's worth the steep climb, as long as you have a stomach for sheer drop-offs.

Location: 8 miles northwest of Quilcene, Wash., in the Olympic National Forest
Length: 4.6 mile roundtrip (including exploration of the rocky ridge just beyond the true summit)
