This is a strenuous 11 ml. round trip with 2,700 ft in elevation gain. This hike takes  us from the north Snoqualmie Pass PCT trailhead to a narrow trail blasted into the cliff face with views of wildflowers and mountain ridges.  After lunch we will return by the same route. The hike follows the Pacific Crest Trail. In the view of the WTA description this is one of the most impressive walks on the Washington state portion of the PCT.

The one way distance of 5.5 miles will be credited to those who register for the PCT Challenge. For details visit:
