This is Gimli Ridge. A small track can also be seen winding along the base of the peak… take this small trail for roughly 45 minutes and you will find yourself on Gimli Ridge, with commanding views of Mulvey Basin and Asgard Peak.

On your return trip, [check] out one of the many side trails that jet off to the east [to see some] amazing views of the Columbia River Gorge!
