It is a long, strenuous hike and we’ll average about 2 MPH when we’re moving. We are looking at between 14-15 miles and approximately 2500’ of gain/loss.
There are many views east and west, interesting geology, cliffs, and a lot of the hike will be up on ridges. The WTA descriptions of Chuckanut Ridge, The Rock Trail, and Fragrance Lake are all very glowing.
7:00 AM at the Ash Way Park and Ride (it's only 67 minutes from the P&R to the trailhead)
