1 miles of hiking • 500' elevation gain • 1 night

The Mount Tahoma Trails Association has developed a system of ski trails with alpine huts and yurts on state land near Ashford, WA. The forest itself is bland reprod and the trails are logging roads which are great for skiing, maybe not so great for hiking. But the views from the huts are worth it! We visited the High Hut, then Snowbowl hut and camped nearby. The next day we went to the yurt and then climbed Mt Griffin!

This was a 19 mile ski trip with 4000 ft gain, but I'm just counting the climb. Wanted to post some pics .

ps the huts are not available for rental this year d/t Covid, but the bathrooms and gazebo are open for day use and the ski patrol is out regularly, and they groom the ski trails. There were more boot/snowshoe prints than ski tracks on the lower trails.
