Day Hike - Tunnel Creek

There will likely still be some snow around the pass - if you have micro-spikes or similar traction devices bring them along just in case. Trekking pole(s) would also be helpful.

"moderately brisk pace": this isn't an official Conditioning Hike Series hike, and we aren't going to be trying for any speed records. But you should be prepared for steady hiking with occasional short breaks if you need to make clothing adjustments or grab a snack. If you want to spend 10 minutes per hour doing yoga stretches or trying to get the perfect photo, this isn't going to be a great hike for you. But if you are solely looking for the most strenuous possible workout, this may not be the ideal hike for you either.

We may want to take a longish lunch break at 5050 Pass especially if the boot path to Valhalla Peak is beckoning some of us (strictly optional, would add about 1/2 mile and 300 ft of elevation gain).
