Most common hike route; 

 Hike about 1.1 miles from trailhead and then bushwhack up the ridge line to the summit. 

 The beginning of the hike is a little steep. But, most of the way up is a moderate climb. 

 As you approach the top, you will encounter conifer forest. 

 In some places the conifer forest can be fairly thick. 

 The canister on Doubletop Mountain is located on the northwest side the summit. 

 The summit has two distinct summits. The northwest one is considered the actual summit. 

 Some people then bushwhack over to Big Indian Mountain. 

 The descent off Doubletop Mountain to Big Indian can be fairly steep.
