Day Hike - Third Burroughs Mountain

PHASE 2 TRIP. One of the most spectacular hikes in our favorite park. Includes 1st and 2nd Burroughs along the way to 3rd.

  • Moderate
  • For Beginners (Getting Started Series)
  • Mileage: 9.5 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 2,500 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 7,800 ft

TBD

LEADER PERMISSION IS REQUIRED.  Priority goes to Olympia CHS students who were cancelled from this year's course due to the pandemic.  It will be open to others on August 15th with leader permission.

My pace will not be fast, but you must be in good condition to handle the mileage and elevation. I will cancel the hike if weather is not favorable or if pandemic conditions require cancellation.
