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'll experience an abundance of wildflowers and spectacular views in all directions. Anticipated time to complete: 3 hours.

A good rule of thumb when considering what to pack (especially for hiking above treeline):  Bring what you would need to stay warm & dry if you sprained your ankle or twisted your knee up above treeline in a cold rain or hail storm and wouldn't be able to get down for several hours. 

A Spirit of Adventure!
