Trip Description

***Please note the early departure, so we can beat the traffic at the border: 5.30AM!***

Amazing 360 degrees views along the ridge!

This is a one way hike, so we need 2 cars, ideally both cars being SUVs, or we would need to add 2km extra to the distance.

The start will be at the Excelsior trailhead, so a bunch of nice switchbacks to the ridge, as you can read on wta.org site. Steep all the way but not very long.

The exit would be at the Welcome Pass trail, with over 66 switchbacks on our way down: steep and relentless, but at least is downhill:)

 

Please make sure you are able to enter the US and Canada without a visa and such, otherwise expect to drive on your own and meet us near the trailhead.
