North Fork Skokomish River

Trip

Day Hike - Camp Pleasant

Resolved to get outside more in 2025, but could use some conditioning before tackling gain under the weight of a backpack? Join me for a little test on this paved rail-to-trail!

  • Very Strenuous
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 14.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,200 ft
  • Pace: 2.0-2.5 mph

NOTE: Route changed from Yelm-Tenino Trail -- I scouted it and deemed one of the road crossings to be too dangerous for hikers. 

Out-and-back from Staircase to Camp Pleasant. You're welcome and encouraged to pack additional weight and/or break in new gear.

We'll meet at Staircase at 8:00 a.m., National Parks Pass pass required, privy available. Note the beginning of Daylight Saving Time -- set clocks (and constitutions!) one hour forward Saturday night.
