Field trip: Conditioning Hiking Series

CHS 1 Hike - Devils Dome/Jackita Ridge

NORTH CASCADES CAMPOUT HIKE. Hike Jackita Ridge to Devil's Pass.

  • Strenuous
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 14.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 3,500 ft
  • Pace: 2 mph

This trip is part of the CHS Campout. We will leave from there shortly after breakfast.

The trail is in the western Pasayten Wilderness with views of Crater and Jack Mountains. Once we ascend above timberline we will have views and wildflowers as we hike through McMillan Park. Do not be deterred by the title, I didn't see an option to change it. Devil's' Dome is a multiday backpack trip. We will not go past Devil's Pass. It is my hope that once we attain McMillan Park, everyone will be in their happy place with views and flowers and the miles won't matter. Time for photo stops definitely allowed.
