CHS 2 Hike - Marmot Pass & Buckhorn Mountain

We'll start at the Quilcene trailhead and hike over Marmot Pass to the Tubal Cain trailhead, stopping midway to enjoy lunch and exchange keys with a CHS 1 group coming from the other direction. Author Craig Romano states that if you can only do one Olympics hike in your lifetime, this is the one to do! CHS 2 hike led at a pace of 2.0-3.0 mph.
