Pre-BCEP Conditioning, Series 1, Hike #3 - Dog Mt Loop

Activity Notes

This is the third hike in a 4-hike series offered to help 2024 BCEP applicants improve their fitness for BCEP team hikes. Once you have submitted a BCEP application, you are welcome to sign-up for any or all hikes in this series

Series 1 is designed for those who prefer to begin their BCEP class in the first half of March. Series 2 and the Sunday Series are intended for applicants who prefer a later start to BCEP. However, all applicants are welcome to sign-up for Series 1 hikes.

For this Dog Mountain hike, we'll carpool from the MMC departing at 8:30am or you can meet us at the trailhead at 9:30am. A Washington Discover Pass is required to park at the trailhead. A one-day pass is $5 and can be purchased at a pay station at the trailhead. 

Other hikes in this series can be found on the calendar by looking for "Pre-BCEP Conditioning Hikes".

The actual hike and location may change depending on conditions, but each hike series will begin with an easy to moderate hike and then progress with increasingly more challenging hikes.

These hikes will give you an opportunity to improve your fitness and to test out your hiking gear and clothing in winter conditions. They will also be an opportunity to practice proper layering to match the weather and pace of the hike and maintain a consistent body temperature to avoid overheating or getting chilled.
