There are a few ways to hike to Tomlike Mountain. This is one of the ways. From the Wahtum Lake parking lot, find the trail that goes down to the lake (about 250 steps). Don't forget to pick up a wilderness permit at the permit station. Near the lake, find the lowest trail that heads north. This is the official Pacific Crest Trail. Continue on the trail as it rounds the lake and slightly gains altitude. You will come to an intersection that points the way to Rainy Lake (West Fork Herman Creek Trail). the trail will continue slightly uphill and then will go downhill. Here comes the tricky part - go past the Anthill trail and at the very next bend on the trail, you will see a little used trail. THIS TRAIL IS NOT MAINTAINED and takes some navigation skills to find the trail through the rocks and trees. Once you find yourself at a small tent site, you will easily see the trail heading up the final steep hill of Tomlike Mountain. Beautiful views of Mt Hood. On the return trip you can take the Anthill Trail junction which will lead you up and over the hill, with views of Wahtum Lake, and it will deposit you back at the parking lot, just behind the restroom.
