We parked at Blewett Pass, passed through the snowmobile staging area and onto the left most of the groomed routes. After a few yards, we left it at the switchback, taking a little used trail up and through a parking lot, then recrossed the groomed trail before dropping downslope to the east to access a road coming up from Tronsen Meadow. From here we discovered a system of trails not appearing on conventional maps which led us up Windy Knob and Tronsen Head; much simpler navigating that had been expected.
