Anyone taken Lodgepole Picnic area to Mt. Burnham? its a pretty sweet route that wastes no time heading up to the peak.
You would never know the trail starts here unless you read about it.

A glider from the 70s! The pilot crashed while trying to recross the ridge on his sailplane and hit some trees on the downslope. He did not survive unfortunately
