I would like to invite backpackers to a slow but still challenging journey through wildflowers and mountain views. The Goat Rocks Wilderness is renowned for its spectacular vistas of Mt. Adams, Mt. Rainier and Mt. Saint Helens. We‘ll start and end the trip at Chambers Lake, hiking less than 6.5 miles each day. On day 3 we‘ll either rest or dayhike along the PCT to explore Elk Ridge. The trailhead is located about 2 hours by car from the Outing campsite.
