  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 8.6 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,370 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 3,000 ft
  • Pace: 2 mph

Greider Lakes trailhead, at the end of Sultan Basin Road, 9:45 am.  Those wishing to carpool, I suggest meeting at the Lynnwood Park & Ride, 8:00am.  I will be there and can take 2 or 3 participants (vaccinated only please).

This hike should take about 2 hrs 15 minutes up, 2 hours down, with about 1/2 hour for lunch.  The first hour is fairly flat, then transitions to steep uphill for the last hour.  We will eat lunch on the north shore of  Big Greider Lake (see photo for our view).
