Day Hike - Ira Spring & Putrid Pete's Peak Trails

Mount Defiance Summit

  • Moderate/Strenuous
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 6.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 2,550 ft

I will be coming from Yakima so I will meet everyone at the trailhead.  Everyone else can meet at Preston Park and Ride at 8am.

I have attempted this hike once many many years ago but the trail was covered in ice and I did not have my spikes.  So I am finally returning, much older and much slower.  With that said if you are a fast hiker please do not join us unless you are willing to go slower than normal.  I will send updates with the plan a few days before the hike.  Poles may be a good option since the trail is pretty steep in sections, especially for going down. Questions?  Feel free to reach out to me.
