Itinerary:

The hike begins at the closest parking lot to the Len Foote Inn trailhead, we will take the Approach trail out and get back on the Hike Inn trail, there will be several scenic overlooks along the way, providing opportunities to pause and enjoy the surroundings.

This is a high end D4, a bit over 10 miles and almost 2300 ft elevation gain.

The trail is well-maintained, meanders through bridges, and passes through a cool, shady rhododendron tunnel.

Our pace will be moderate/fast-ish (average 2.7mph), we will take 20 minutes to enjoy the scenery and our favorite snacks at the Len Foote Inn

Len Foote Inn is a unique backcountry eco-lodge, take a few minutes to look into the concept on their website https://hike-inn.com/education.

It MIGHT be possible for us to buy their famous freshly baked giant cookies, but don't take it against me if we can't.

Then we will retrace our steps back to the cars!
