Trip
Backpack - Tubal Cain Mine, Buckhorn Lake & Marmot Pass
This overnight trip climbs 2700 feet over 6 miles past flowering wild rhodys and across flower-filled meadows to camp high above the Dungeness River with expansive views and the potential to see mountain goats. It's a great trip for new and returning backackers with moderate fitness to practice the new skill of carrying water to a dry camp.

This is the leader's favorite late-June backpack, with expansive flower fields, panoramic views and the chance to see mountain goats! It's a dry camp so everyone will have a chance to practice carrying water for the overnight up to the camp. Many beginner backpackers have really enjoyed this trail in past years!
Gear and food planning details and trail and weather information will be provided by the leader in advance of the trip.
