Join the Mazamas for this is a One Day adventure circumnavigating the beautiful Lawetlat'la (Mount St Helens) on the Loowit Trail.  Let's take advantage of the longest day of the year! 

It is a challenging 29 mile 6,500 feet gain hike that has lots of boulder fields, epic views, and volcanic debris fields. This remote trail meanders up and down and out of multiple ravines and crosses several rivers. There are sections that will require you to use a fixed rope to climb out of a ravine. There is also exposure with a few drop offs.

This is not a beginner hike.

We will be moving at a moderate pace finishing the loop in about 12-15 hours. If you wish to apply, you need to list distance hikes or Ultras or other long distance trail runs/hikes of 25+mile range.

You will be required to carry a space blanket, wind/ rain jacket, two liters of water at any time (we will stop to filter more), whistle, and enough high calorie food to graze on that does not require cooking.

Upcoming Required Registration: Registration will open on the date indicated above. Please check back on that date to apply/register for this activity.
