Round Mountain
Round Mountain is a 6,237 foot high spot at the south end of Nason Ridge, crowned by the Alpine Lookout, which awaits with long views to the north and south. The moderate Round Mountain Trail, #1529 begins on Butcher Creek Road, north of US Highway 2 from just east of a rest area.
Mount Mastiff
Mount Mastiff, at 6,741, presiding over Lost Lake, was named for its profile, which looks like a dog's head from Lake Wenatchee. Access is taken from the Nason Ridge Trail, via the Merritt Lake Trail (#1588, 13 miles east of Stevens Pass), up the southwest slope of the mountain. It can also be easily reached from the summit of Mount Howard by their connecting ridge.
Mount Howard
The tall, stately centerpiece of the Nason Ridge peaks, 7,063 foot Mount Howard offers summiters a 360 degree view. Approaching from Snowy Creek Trail (#1531) on the Lake Wenatchee side or Merritt Lake Trail from Highway 2, the easy climb through areas of exposed gneissic rock leaves the trail near Crescent Lake.
Rock Mountain
Rock Lake hangs elegantly below the 6,852 foot summit of Rock Mountain, which is just a few steps of the steep, dry Rock Mountain Trail (# 1587), originating 9 miles east of Stevens Pass off Highway 2.
Bonus Mountain - Lichtenberg
Just west of Nason Ridge, an easy half mile scramble from Lake Valhalla, lies the scabby-rocked, 5,488 foot summit of Lichtenberg Mountain, above its attendant Lichtenwasser Lake.
