Getting There

There is room for a few cars on the side of the road at the Skyline Blvd trailhead (Firelane 15). It's about 1.6mi north of NW Germantown Road on NW Skyline Blvd. 

The Hike

Distance: 7.21 mi

Calories: 1,251
Avg Pace: 19:41
Moving Time: 2:22:01
Total Time: 2:22:01

This is my third time doing this exact route. I mostly keeping in shape. I like that it's close to home, there's a nice warm up, the uphill at BPA from Hwy 30 to the top is tough, and it ends with a bang.

I feel like I'll be ready for my Mt St Helens Summit attempt in a couple of weeks.
