Trip Description

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. 

Jun 30, 5pm: Drive 4h to Olympia and camp or motel TBD.

Jul 1, 7am: Drive 2.5h to Chambers Lake CG 46.46564, -121.53177. 
          10am: start hiking - 23km/744m. Snowpass Hikers TH - Camp (46.41578, -121.40506)

Jul 2: 14.7km/733m. Camp - Nannie Pk - Sheep Lake (46.45265, -121.43327)

Jul 3: 11km/1200m. Sheep Lake - Gilbert Pk - Cispus River (46.49023, -121.43463)

Jul 4: 9km/890m Cispus River - Ives Pk - Old Snowy Mtn - Jordan Basin (46.51226, -121.50034)

Jul 5: 8.8km/156m Jordan Basin to Snowpass Hikers TH Drive (6.5h) home, aiming before 7pm. 

We have a roomy full size truck that will comfortable take 4 adults. The mileage for the trip will be $560 divided equally (4ppl = $140ea). We will have our sweet young 20kg dog with us too FYI.
