The trailhead is approximately three hours from Seattle and we will be on the trail for many hours - makes for a very long day. Therefore, Jen and I are staying overnight at Baker Lodge on Saturday and Sunday. The lodge is one mile-ish from our trailhead. We've stayed at the lodge before. It's a fun experience! Just think of it as a big sleepover!
They provide dinner on Saturday and breakfast and dinner on Sunday too. We are staying over on both Saturday and Sunday.
If your interested in staying at Baker Lodge on Saturday and/or Sunday nights, sign up on the Mountaineers website. You can sign up now (be sure you know the cancelation policy, in case you don’t get into this hike) or you can wait until you register. I recommend signing up now!
