About the hike
We are going to head out to the Kludahk Trail. This remote trail is near the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail along the San Juan Ridge. It is the same elevation as Mt. Washington ski resort.
- Distance: 5-10 km
- Elevation: 300m elevation gain
- Length of hiking: 4-6 hours (including breaks)
There are several cabins along the trail. The plan is to hike a loop from the trail head to Blueberry Cabin and Tea Hut. Our route may change based on the weather and energy of the group. We will stop in at least one cabin to have lunch and tea.
