The Trek-
From high traverses along craggy crests, camping at 5 fishable lakes, to forest walks near churning rivers, to meadowland tours, this section accesses a variety of Cascades backcountry, making for a classic, weeklong backpack. We head south from Stevens Pass along this popular section of the Pacific Crest Trail towards our destination at Snoqualmie Pass. Overall, this section of the PCT will challenge your legs, lift your spirits and probably confirm your reasons for backpacking.

This trek will introduce younger scouts (beginning at age 13) to our exciting High Adventure program. We include Leave No Trace camping and cooking, map, compass and GPS instruction, some cross country hiking, problem solving, exploration, merit badge work, Ranger Award experience, patrol building, individual recognition and excitement. This specialized experience will prepare young trekkers to return to our High Adventure Base for even greater challenges. Let’s hike!

Suggested physical training before the trek: Cardio-vascular exercise such as hiking with a loaded pack, biking, running and weight training.
