Tyee Peak (6,000')

Tyee Peak is accessed from Mt. Rainier's Northern Loop Trail near Windy Gap, with a social trail that deposits the hiker right at its base. I tagged this peak on a 2 day NLT transit, along with Pigeon Peak. My decision to circle the mid base of the peak to the east and climb the east face was doable but not prudent. The much easier route up the wooded west ridge proved to be the "normal" way, as I found out on my descent. Both routes are shown in this video.
