Mount Dickerman (Hard Hike)

Come and climb to the top of Mount Dickerman!

Distance: 9 miles
Elevation Gain: 4,000 ft.
Difficulty: Hard

Located in the heart of the Mountain Loop area north of Seattle, Mount Dickerman grants amazing views of Baker, Glacier Peak, and the North Cascades. It takes a bit of grind to get there though! The trail starts steep and doesn’t let up. After a few miles, we will break out of the forest and may be treated to some early flowers where the snow has receded. Spring is here in Seattle, but expect significant snow on the upper parts of the mountain as we push up the steepest section towards the summit to enjoy the great views and eat lunch.

Microspikes are required, but I recommend bringing mountaineering boots, crampons, and an ice axe as well. With the warm weather, the snow will be soft and snowshoes might be useful too. If you don’t bring all the gear, you may have to stop before the summit!
