Aug 1-4 Olympic National Park Blue Glacier backpack

We have six permits for the Hoh river trail up to Blue Glacier.

Night 1 - drive to park and hike in 9 miles and 600 feet of elevation gain to the first campsite.

Night 2 - It is 8 miles and 4000 feet of elevation gain to the next camp site. Another mile and another 1,000 feet of elevation gain from this campsite takes you to the glacier.

Night 3 - We will have plenty of time at Blue Glacier. It is six miles back to our next campsite.

Next day: It is 10 miles back to the cars, drive home. The permit cost per person is $25. We will try to arrange carpooling so everyone fits in two cars.

The entire trail (out and back) to the glacier is 36 miles and about 5,600 feet of elevation. I would like to reserve one spot for a newer-to-the-group person but we have to have met you in person prior.

We organize on Facebook/Facebook messenger, so you do not need to use Facebook, but you must be able to use Messenger. When you join a chat for an event, you will understand why.

Rules and expectations you should know:

• What are we here for?
• Events Refund Policy
