This peak is trailless, meaning a portion or all of the route up the mountain is via an unmarked trail. For this particular mountain, the typical route is known as a ''herd path'' which is not much more than a worn, but unmarked trail. Some of the herd paths are easy to follow, others are not. In many instances the hiker will travel down a false herd path and eventually have to correct his/her course via backtracking. For these particular mountains, it is imperative that the hiker carry |
a compass (and know how to use it) and topographic map. Says Kevin Corcoran
Washington is an excellent outdoors state. Each one of the many hiking trails of Washington is worth backcountry hiking. A lengthy tour divides Hood River from Pacific Crest Trail - section 23,
| | but what an outstanding place for backcountry backpacking it is. Different parts of Pacific Crest Trail - section 23 are at very different elevations which of course means you need to be prepared for different conditions on different parts of the backcountry hiking trail. Pacific Crest Trail - section 23 is a backpacking trail of tremendous length having an average number of uphill miles which makes it a splendid wilderness hiking trail for experienced hikers in good shape. Here in the good state of Washington backcountry hiking is a great way to spend | |
