Klickitat Trail — Friday, Sep. 21, 2012

South Cascades > White Pass/Cowlitz River Valley
Sanctuary Arch is a natural stone arch located in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest about 20 miles south of Packwood Washington.
I made a 7.6 mile hike in the area of Sanctuary Arch starting at about 1.9 miles up the 160 spur off Forest Road 22. The road was decent for higher clearance vehicles, the weather good, scenery outstanding and the #7 Klickitat trail from Saint John Lake to Mission Mountain ridge needs work. For a little longer hike (4 miles round trip) and about 800 more ft more elevation gain, hikers can start at the Hugo Lake #7 Klickitat Trail head.
