Outing Trek Around Glacier Peak WA

Activity Notes

Join us as we hike around majestic Glacier Peak. This 82.7 mile, 22,500 feet net elevation gain trek circumnavigates Glacier Peak largely on maintained trails, with about half the distance on the Pacific Crest Trail and a relatively short 5 mile use-trail section. There will be numerous passes and a few stream crossings along the way. Glacier Peak Wilderness is a remote and rugged landscape with varying terrain from thick old growth forests to alpine splendor.

The six to eight participants will need to be in good physical condition and have experience on at least one 50 mile (or greater) trek. We will be traveling light and fast, up to 18.5 miles per day with daily elevation gains varying from 2,500 – 6,800 feet. The terrain will be challenging at times with brush and scree in the use trail portion.

There will be no fee's for this Outing. Participants will need to cover their share of costs for lodging, which will be arranged by the leader, and carpooling. We will be staying in a hotel the night before and after the trek. Contact the leader Gary Bishop (gbish90@hotmail.com) for more information.
