Guests: If spots are still available one week prior to the trip, email Draagana to request that a friend or sibling be able to join.
Land Acknowledgement: We will be recreating on the lands/waters of the Pacific Northwest Indian Tribes, including the Yakama, who live here and steward these lands and waters as they have since time immemorial. The Seattle Mountaineers Youth Clubs encourage you to recreate mindfully and respectfully on our upcoming trip to these native lands.

If you'd like to borrow gear, please submit your request to the gear library.

Meeting place and time

Meet at 930 at the parking lot along Chinook pass north of Naches Peak Loop Trailhead. There are two other trails that start from the parking lot. Our trail (Naches Peak Loop) does not start from the parking lot. We have to walk along the road or take a short trail to get to the trailhead on the other side of Chinook Pass.
