Boulder River Trail Hike

To attend this event, click here to register and obtain detailed information.

Join the Mount Baker Sierra Club for a hike on the Boulder River Trail, which offers access to old-growth forest and a Congressionally-designated Wilderness Area. While those hoping for stunning viewpoints on this trail might be disappointed, the experience of walking among centuries-old trees in one of the area's last surviving fragments of old-growth makes this hike well worth it. Along the way we'll pause to admire huge conifers as well as Boulder Falls and stretches of the river. Well behaved dogs are welcome.

This is an approximately 8.5-mile round trip, out-and-back trail that involves almost 700 feet of elevation gain and is rated by All Trails as moderate. Be sure to bring sturdy hiking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, a packed lunch, and plenty of water.

We will be meeting at the Boulder River Trailhead on National Forest Road 2010 off State Route 530 NE (the spot that shows up on Google Maps may not be exact; simply follow NF Road 2010 until you see the trailhead). For information about carpooling please see the event link above.

Please note you will need a Northwest Forest Pass or equivalent public lands pass to park at the trailhead.

The purpose of this outing is to support the Sierra Club's mission. You do not need to be a member of the Sierra Club to join us, yet we highly encourage you to show your support. For more information about becoming a member of the Sierra Club, please click here.
