SUMMARY:Gold Hill Cabin Overnight Trip (XC-1, XC-2, SS-1 & SS-2)
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nTrip Name\nGold Hill Cabin Overnight Trip\n\n\nTrip Start Date\nJanuary, 10, 2026\n\n\nType of Trip\nOther\n\n\nRating\nXC-1, XC-2, SS-1 & SS-2\n\n\nLeader Name\nJim Langdon\n\n\nLeader Email\njimlangdon2@gmail.com\n\n\nRoundtrip Drive Mileage\n280\n\n\nCarpooling Cost\n$34\n\n\nAdditional Fees\n$35\n\n\nTrailhead Name\nN/A\n\n\nLongitude/Latitude\n46.908, 121.42\n\n\nTrip Description\nThe Gold Hill cabin is two miles and 800 feet of rise from the Chinook Pass Highway (Highway 410) not far from the pass. We will drive up the Chinook Pass Highway as far as the road is plowed. We then ski or snowshoe the two miles up an unplowed forest service road to get to the cabin. Above the cabin is a valley full of enjoyable snowshoeing, ski touring or ski mountaineering.\nThese tours can be taken Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, including trips to the crest for views of Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, and Mt. Mount Rainier, and the Crystal Mountain Ski Area. We pack in the fresh food (Jim provides this), and everyone should bring a sleeping bag, flashlight, cabin shoes, Saturday lunch, your normal daypack and personal gear. The cabin has bunk beds upstairs and a few places on the fold out couches downstairs so you don’t need to bring a sleeping pad. Always bring clothing for anything from blizzards to rainy conditions. Skiing or snowshoeing experience is not necessary, but you must have enough skill and conditioning to make the two miles into the cabin and the return to the cars. Beginning skiers should be warned that the route out is on a road and is sometimes fast. If the snow conditions are not to your liking, you can walk back to the cars, which takes about an hour.Costs: $69; includes: $34 carpooling, $30 cabin use fee & $5 for share of fresh food.Sign-up: By 9:00 pm on Thursday, January 8. Sign-ups are limited to ten (10) people. Plan to leave the Tri-Cities at 7:00 am on Saturday, January 10.\n\n\nApproximate Mileage\n2 Miles to the Cabin\n\n\nElevation Gain\n800 feet to the cabin\n\n\nDeparture Time\n7:00 AM\n\n\nSign up by\nJanuary 8th, 2026\n\n\n\nEach participant is responsible for their own safety and being prepared. PLANNING ( https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1207/plan-like-a-park-ranger.htm ) and preparation start with the 10 ESSENTIALS ( #ten-essentials-popup ) and staying up-to-date on road and trail conditions, permit requirements, party size limits, snowpack, wildfires, and weather.  Visit the ACTIVITY CLASSIFICATION PAGE ( #activity-classification-popup )  for detailed information on difficulty rating for I-MAC trip so you can sign up for activities that best match your fitness and comfort levels.\nVisit TRIP COSTS & PASSES ( #trip-costs-passes-popup ) for detailed information about trip costs.\nTo help protect and care for these special places that we enjoy exploring, I-MAC members always practice LEAVE NO TRACE ( https://lnt.org/ ) and follow the 7 PRINCIPLES OF LEAVE NO TRACE ( https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/ ). Ask your trip leader if you have questions about Leave No Trace or suggestions for helping to reduce our footprint.\n
