The terrain is not steep, with little vegetation to block views across the valley to distant ridges. Bring both snowshoes and spikes; we might need both. Bring all ten essentials, as weather can quickly turn dangerous for those without a warm jacket, gloves, and headcap.\nIf needed, you can rent snowshoes from I-MAC. See the rentals ( https://imacnw.org/equipment-rentals/ ) page for details. Contact for ski rental is Jim Langdon hikerjim@imacnw.org  509-943-3992 (no text)\n\n\nApproximate Mileage\n4\n\n\nElevation Gain\n500\n\n\nDeparture Time\n8:00 AM\n\n\nSign up by\nDecember 25, 2024\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 \n
