Okay all you backpackers and peak baggers this one’s for you. Hiking a little known trail called Mount Gleason. This is a loooong one (18 miles) But the elevation gain is only 3152 which makes this an excellent conditioning hike. Time to weigh down your gear if your looking to train for your backpack adventures or increase your endurance with a longer hike. Or just come along and enjoy a good hike and explore. We will be following the Alltrails map from the start of our hike to the top of Mount Gleason which is more of a fireroad. From there it looks like we may pass close to the old Nike Missile site. We will also pass a memorial for a fallen firefighter. On our way back down we will veer off the trail and connect to the Pacific Crest Trail which we will take all the way back to our cars.
Trail Moderate but long distance
Dogs are allowed but not recommended
Trail length 18 miles
Elevation gain 3152
Out time is a estimate
Adventure pass maybe required but this is my first time here so not sure
(I would bring just incase)
I’m gonna to provide the Alltrails link for you so you can check out info on the trails which includes stats directions and photos.
Please remember to bring your face cover and all essentials needed for a long hike…
The Organizer, Assistant Organizer and event host in this group are not professional guides. The function of the organizer is only to organize the trip. Each person who signs up for a Event is responsible for his or her own safety and the safety of his or her guess.
And last the area roads will close after harsh weather due to heavy snow so unfortunately were weeks away from the event the weather can easily change. If so will have to reschedule….
And not to forget will always go by Jim’s two golden rules:
1) Hike your own hike
2) Stop at every junction and split to wait for others to catch up
