CHS 1 Hike - Cady Ridge & Little Wenatchee River Loop

Field trip: Conditioning Hiking Series

CHS 1 Hike - Cady Ridge & Little Wenatchee River Loop

Meander Meadow-Dishpan Gap-Cady Ridge loop.

  • Strenuous
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 12.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 2,000 ft
  • Pace: 1.5-2.0 mph

We'll leave the Monroe Park and Ride at 6:30. Directions will be provided in our  "Hello Hiker".  

This is a long milage hike with a couple hours of driving on both ends. To that end, I'll be working hard to maintain schedule with a 1.8 to 2.0 mph pace. Goal is to have time to mosey a bit in the meadows and on the PCT so enjoy the views and hopefully the flowers with sacrificing regular breaks and a nice lunch.
