Kachess Ridge Trail, Thorp Mountain Trail |
The Thorp Mountain lookout is on Kachess Ridge Trail.
The gable-roofed
lookout was constructed in 1931 and the views of Mount Rainier, Mount
Stuart, Mount Daniel and the Dutch Miller Gap-area peaks are a major
attraction.
The trail climbs through a steep flower meadow interspersed with
rocky outcroppings.

Cost of
Snoqualmie Pass Fat Asses?
The Fat asses are free!!! Why do it then?
For the fun of running in our own backyard! Reduce your expenses and carbon
footprint.
Plan on carrying your own water and whatever supplies you may need.
At least two water bottles, grub, camera, and a fanny pack is recommended.
It could be
hot. Ten
essentials for Trail Running
Ripe Huckleberries on Snoqualmie Pass |
This is a no fee, no shirt, no aid, no whining type event, so plan
on carrying your favorite method of hydration and some energy grub as
well! -- (And, of course) These are not races but rather just a couple
of fun runs! You'll need to keep track of your own time, and we'll
post it here.
We'll meet for the shuttle each morning at Guye Cabin at 7 am.
Guye Cabin is located on Alpental Road. We'll have water, drinks,
and some snacks before and after the runs each day.
