Hoodsport Ranger Station, time TBD.  We will then carpool/ caravan to the Staircase parking area.  Olympic National Park or America the Beautiful Pass needed to enter the National Park.

More information to come, but in a nutshell, three day backpack trip with a layover day based at the group site at Flapjack Lakes.  On lay day, we will explore up to Gladys Divide and Mt Gladys.  Permit fee of $18 per person.  If registered, and then cancel, and I am not able to fill your spot, you will still be asked to reimburse me your portion of the trip cost.  Cash preferred, but PayPal or Venmo okay.
