Lake Ingalls

Trip

Day Hike - Lake Ingalls

This is a graduation hike for Olympia Conditioning Hiking Series (CHS). Olympia CHS folks will get first dibs on this until 9/28/2018, then open to all branches. This is an amazing setting giving awesome views of Mt. Stuart and beyond!

  • Strenuous
  • Challenging
  • Mileage: 9.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 2,600 ft

TBD.

You/we will need to leave Olympia VERY early in the morning to get this hike in. I would also suggest sleeping at the trail head or getting a campsite nearby the night before.  I intend to start this hike early in the morning 7AM.

I expect everyone to have researched this hike (ie conditions of the trail and route) and how to get to the trail head. Also, this is a graduation hike, so bring your A game and make sure to hydrate beforehand.
