Killen Creek Trail to High Camp

Activity Notes

We will do an out and back from the Killen Creek trailhead to High Camp. This is a strenuous hike and there is about 1 mile up to High Camp which is quite rough and rugged! Leader will maintain a pace of 2-3 mph (faster on the long descent). Please email trip leader with details on your preparation / conditioning for this difficult hike. 

This hike will be:

• 10.0 miles, roundtrip 
• elevation gain 2,300 feet

Washington Trails Association has a hike description here. 

• Meet at the Mt. Adams ranger station in Trout Lake, WA, at 8:30am. Carpooling from this location is possible since we can leave cars parked here. Google Maps link to this ranger station: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8PpcRp96Vn8v7N9e9
• The Killen Creek trailhead is approximately 50 minutes' drive time from the ranger station. 
• There are some car camping campgrounds in the area - the closest to this hike are Takhlakh Lake Campground (reservations possible) and Killen Creek Campground (first come, first served).
