Mailbox Peak - Old Trail, Mailbox Peak — Friday, Apr. 24, 2015

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

Overall 8.1mi RT 1325m ascent. Up the old trail, down the new trail. Notable snow at the top, but fresh enough to provide a good gripping surface. The new trail is considerably more shallow, but very very long in comparison. I felt like I was hiking the old Mt Si trail at times, though it was considerably wider. Otherwise it felt like sections of Rattlesnake, but the variety in feeling was likely due to the length. Indeed, by the time I reached the eighty-seventh switchback, I was wondering if it would ever end.
