The trip will follow the Suiattle River upstream to one of several camps.  Once camp is set up, there will be an optional day hike (3 miles RT).  The elevation gain listed is not what we will experience.  The trail climbs and falls repeatedly, and we will likely end up with at least 3000' cumulative elevation gain.
