Rally Point Details:

Day 1
Final gas-up in Randle, WA

We’ll pass Tower Rock and climb to Burley Mountain Fire Lookout. From there, we’ll head down to Mosquito Meadows then turn left stopping at a few waterfalls as we make our way back to Forest Road 23. Time to stretch the legs for a short half mile hike to Camp Creek Falls. After that easy hike, we’ll continue to FR 2324. FR 2324 dead ends at the trailhead to Sunrise Peak. We’ll camp here for the night. (Anybody that wants to join but can’t get out early on Friday can meet us here) 46.33547, -121.74680

I’m rallying around 4:00 am so I can be at Sunrise Peak by first light. No obligation to join me, but of course you’re welcome. I believe it’s about a 3-4 mile hike round trip. After the hike, we’ll break down camp and make our way to Baby Shoe pass. There are several side trips and spots to explore along the route including ice caves, collapsed lava tubes, and water falls.

The planned campsite for Saturday is a large landing with a wide open view of Mt Adams.

Sunday we’ll finish the WABDR, air up the tires, and then head a few miles back up FR 65 to check out Panther Creek Falls. From there, we’ll make our way down the Columbia to I-5 and home.
