About
⛰️ Welcome to a two-night trip to Snow & Gem Lake! We are staying 2 nights. Here we will explore the area, get away from the cities and relax around the wilderness. We will be hiking to Snow Lake first which is about 3.6 miles in, and there we will make camp, or decided to go further and camp at Gem Lake. Either way, we will be visiting Gem Lake at some point. The total trip will be about 10 miles round trip with a 2,800 ft elevation gain. This trip will hold about 5 campers.
🔥 No firepits
✉️ Wednesday before our trip I will privately message people who have RSVP'd - they will have 24hrs to respond before I add people from a waitlist (if there is anyone on it)
⛺️ I will be attaching multiple links for backpacking tips and tricks, along with information about the hike itself. Please remember to bring your 10 essentials, food, and your Northwest Forest Pass for parking. Please do not over pack your bag, you are responsible for your own pack. Your pack should not exceed 20% of your body weight (without food or water in it) or should be something you can carry effectively. You know your own strength best.
🍃 If you are new to backpacking - don't worry - we are too! But we can only get better at it the more we do it.
Also, before you set off on your adventure, please make sure a family or friend has your location as a precaution.
This is a group event. But you are responsible for bringing all your necessities. Club Cascadia or I are NOT responsible if you get hurt on this adventure (i.e. fall on the trail, ect.).
Hope to see some people signed up!
