Day Hike - Paradise (summer)

Mazama Ridge- 7 miles with 900 feet of elevation gain/loss. Beautiful vista hike in MRNP.

  • Easy, Easy/Moderate
  • For Beginners (Getting Started Series)

Meet 7 am at South Renton P&R (205 S 7th St/Grady Way), driving time will be approx. 2.5 hrs.

Hikers 18 yrs+.  BWS course hiker's sign-up only thru 7/17. Sign-up is open to all hikers 7/18-21 for any open spaces on roster.  NP entrance fee $25, or annual pass $50  (per vehicle).  We will start from the reflection lakes TH and hike in a counter-clockwise loop.  This is going to be led as an easy hike but we start at over 5000 ft of elevation, so expect some adjustment to less oxygen/thin air at the beginning of the hike.
