TRIP DESCRIPTION: Kendall Katwalk is a strenuous 11 ml. round trip with 2,700 ft in elevation gain. The 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 map for our day trip is: GT Snoqualmie Pass Gateway #207S

 We will travel at a moderate pass (av. 2 mph). A high level of fitness and stamina is required to register for this trip in view of the distance and elevation gain. It's important that all the group can keep together. So, if you feel this trip might be either too strenuous or alternatively not challenging enough please consider if it is right for you.
