Season:
June-October China Cap is a popular climb for people on the west side of the Wallowas because it is a fairly docile hike up a trail until the final few hundred yards. The cliff on the north side is quite impressive, so be careful scrambling up the ridge. Make sure to sign in at the register on the summit!
Notes
- The trail begins at Buck Creek Campground.
- A Northwest Forest Pass is required at the trailhead
