RMOTHG Trip – Glacier Peak via Georgia Pass
This 6 mile / 1500 ft elevation-gain hike to Glacier Peak starts from the top of Georgia Pass (11,598'). Considered relatively mellow, this all-above-treeline route includes sections of 4wd road, the Colorado Trail, and off-trail tundra hiking. We should experience an abundance of wildflowers and spectacular views in all directions. Anticipated time to complete: 4 hours.

Hiking – Staunton State Park
We'll go to 3 overlooks-including Eagle Cliffs @ 9,800'. From the Lazy V parking lot, we'll connect to the Old Mill trail and take it to the Mason Creek trail. The MC trail will take us to the Bear Paw trail, and we'll take the BP trail to the three scenic overlooks. Then we will reconnect with the Mason Creek trail and go back the way we came - for around 8 miles and 1,350 ft elevation gain.
