Kennedy Ridge Trail 639
This trail is within Glacier Peak Wilderness. It passes through mossy forest along the spine of the ridge with views of Glacier Peak, then switchbacks down to the former site of Kennedy Hot Springs.
For off-trail adventurers, make a loop through the silt and rubble flats left by the October, 2003, floods that buried the hot springs, across Kennedy Creek, and return to the Pacific Crest Trail via the Upper White Chuck Trail 643.
