Driving

From the Nisqually Entrance, drive to 1 mile beyond Narada Falls and turn right onto Stevens Canyon Road. Continue another 1.5 miles and park at the Reflection Lake parking lot on the north side of the road (elevation 4870').

Route

Across from the parking area, begin on the Pinnacle Peak Trail and follow it to the saddle at 5940'. From the saddle, first head west and then southerly, heading up the easiest terrain to the summit. There is a good footpath.

Comments

Plummer can be combined with other Tatoosh Range peaks in the vicinity. The easiest to reach is Denman (from Plummer you can head northwesterly to Denman). Lane and Pinnacle can also be combined with Plummer.
