Activity Notes
Conditioning hike. This is one of my favorite hikes, but it is steep in sections with some loose rock. Please bring lots of food and at least 3L of water. Poles are recommended. We will go at a moderate pace. If there's time/interest, we can add the 2 miles and 400' gain to see Elowah Falls and Upper McCord Creek Falls. We will carpool from MMC at 7:00A.M. and start hiking from John B. Yeon TH at 7:45A.M. Suggested carpool donation is $7 per passenger. 10 miles, 3900' gain, 3800' at summit Please email me with any questions! ***Minorities tend to experience higher amounts of stress. There's also lots of evidence that spending time outside in nature and socially engaging outside of work can reduce stress levels. Therefore, I highly encourage and welcome race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, economic, religious, and all other minorities to join me on my hikes! ***This hike will take place on historically Chinook lands. If you would like to help this tribe be federally recognized, they have an active petition!| Other Information | |
