Eagle and Chutla Peaks, Longmire Trail

Activity Notes

Located in the Tatoosh range in the southern end of Mt. Rainier Nat. Park, this 2 peak link-up offers a classic alpine scramble. The round trip hike of about 7 miles starts at Longmire on a well maintained trail rising through beautiful ancient forest, and tops out on a saddle between the two peaks. This is good beginner trip and fairly close to home. Be prepared for a an exposed scramble on Eagle, and 3rd class tree climbing on the "Hobbit trail" of the Chutla Ridge. You will need to either camp (In the Park) the night before or leave PDX very early on Sunday. I will have another climb nearby on Saturday which can be applied for separately.
