Trip Report

Mailbox Peak - Old Trail, Mailbox Peak — Monday, Jan. 24, 2022

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

Went up old trail down new. Mailbox at the summit is no longer there. There’s a trip report from yesterday on the Old Trail page that shows it so it must have gone missing just last night or this morning :(

Did you find this trip report helpful?

Sometimes this has happened when people sitting on it break it, and another hiker brings up a replacement. Maybe that happened or someone is bringing a new one for fresh sticker real estate? :-(

I notice the Mailbox was a little flatten on the open end like someone sat or stood on it. That was on Jan. 21.

If no one has replaced the mailbox yet, I’ll run one up tomorrow and install it. I found one on offerup. -Angie

I put the last one up there. The frame at the top is designed for a certain sized mailbox. I'm planning on running to Issaquah and grabbing another one from Lowes and doing it myself in the next two days.

is the wooden post still there? TBH I am bringing one up this sunday. I swear if I see three mailboxes up there I would lose it and attach a fourth one

I hiked up with a mailbox, wood and a power drill bit it didn’t fit the bracket. It’s a metal bracket and my 19 inch long mailbox didn’t fit. Oh well, good pack training.
