Day Hike - Tumac Mountain & Twin Sisters Lakes Loop

Deep Creek trailhead at 7:30am.

As the trailhead is deep in the William O Douglas wilderness, I recommend car camping, probably at Soda Springs campground along Bumping River road 18 on Friday night.  Sites are available on a first come, first serve basis and cannot be reserved.  Arrangements and details of the car camp will be forthcoming in the leader's email two weeks prior to the trip.

I will probably arrange an optional hike on the Naches Peak loop on Friday as we cross Chinook Pass on our way to the car camp.

This area just north of White Pass is a large plateau with a ton of small lakes, ponds and marshy meadows. It is mosquito paradise and best avoided in summer.  Other than the ascents up to Little Twin Sisters Lake and Tumac Mountain, most of the route is flat or gently uphill/downhill.  I rate the hike challenging because of the 13 mile distance to complete the loop.

I take a leisurely to moderate pace - expect a steady, slow pace on the incline from the leader. Dress in layers, as it may be cold with our early start.  In the shoulder season inclement weather, such as a day of steady rain or snow, may cancel the trip.
