25 miles of hiking • 5500' elevation gain •
Started at Eagle Creek TH and went up Ruckel Ridge to the Benson Plateau, then across Benson Way to the PCT and on to Wahtum Lake. We sidetracked to tag Chinidere and spent some time eating and napping in the sun. Then down the Wahtum cutoff to the lake, and finally a 13 mile slog down Eagle Creek and back to the car.
