We did this as a loop and were hoping to include Cradle Lake, but crossing the creek at that time of year (Mem Day weekend) was impossible. There were many, many blowdowns across that section of Jack Creek. Jack Ridge had some nice views. We camped below at Trout Lake first night and went to ridge on second day. The route described in the WTA link goes most of the way there, just turn south at the ridge to get to the lookout site. The lookout site is not at the high point of the ridge as several sources place it. Eric found debris at a location north of the high point and he has pictures to prove it!
