Benson Plateau

Activity Notes

Conditioning hike. There are many optional mini-loops at the summit. Please bring lots of food and at least 3L of water. Poles are recommended. We will go at a moderate-fast pace. We will carpool from the MMC at 7:00A.M. and start hiking from Herman Creek TH at 8:00A.M. A Northwest Forest Pass is required. Suggested carpool donation is $9 per passenger. 16 miles, 4000' gain, 4000' 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!
