Lookouts and High Places July Hikes - Eagle Peak

We will go at an easy pace (1 - 1.5 mph) with plenty of rest breaks as needed. Bring lunch and plenty of water. Dress for your comfort with the day's predicted temps. Hiking poles and sturdy boots are recommended.

This trail has multiple switchbacks sure to get your heart thumping and we will cross an open slope where wildflowers bloom and pikas and marmots hang out. Eventually we will climb up to the Eagle Peak Saddle (hike does not include Eagle or Chutla Peaks) where we'll have lunch, enjoy the views and make our way down the way we came.

For safety, we will all hike as a group so please assess beforehand whether this distance/elevation gain/pace will suit you before registering.

My style: I am curious, love to be wowed by Nature and adventurous. As a leader, my style is more relaxed stopping to be in wonder, enjoy the views, enjoy any flowers blooming, keeping an eye out for critters and enjoying how we each respond to the awe presenting itself. I value the journey as much as the destination and strive to foster hiking as a wholistic experience (body, mind and spirit).

We will meet at 8:00am in Longmire.

Drivers: All vehicles passing into Mt Rainier National Park need a pass or America the Beautiful interagency pass. No advanced car reservation needed this season 2025 but delays for road construction are expected.
