My partner and I have selected a route through the Goat Rocks Wilderness that tags 3 peaks [Gilberts Peak 2500m (P1129), Old Snowy Mountain 2417m (P107), Ives Peak 2418m (P247)] from the Washington Scrambles guidebook and 2 of the backpacks [trips #22 & #23] from the Backpacking Washington guide book (both 2nd editions). It's a wilderness so no major concerns with getting permits, reservations etc but would like to have attendees sorted by June 1.
Total hiking distance is ~70km. Total elevation gain is ~3,700m.
