MAILBOX PEAK: A time where I'd never been more excited to see a mailbox

  • So I've been eyeing this hike for quite some time. The OLD trail up Mailbox Peak was a rite of passage for many. It is still frequently used to train for mountaineering ascents. However, after numerous injuries, and rescues, and increased erosion, the WA Dept. of Natural Resources created a more gentle trail, the NEW trail which is a lengthier, more kind way up and down.
    I opted for a hard ascent and an easier but longer descent. This was after surveying many hikers and climbers about their preference. I think that is the best way to do the trail. It is incredibly steep so save your knees on the way down!

    I understand what you're going through. I love hiking and last year, in California with several friends, we hiked Devil's edge, which is part of Mt. Baldy, and has an elevation of 10,064 feet. No lie, my lungs were burning all the way up, but it was a lot easier going down. I do not remember the distance we traveled up, but I do remember we traveled farther on the way down, by taking the more dangerous trail on the decent. Pictures of that hike, plus other hikes I did, are on my personal Facebook page - but not on my business one. :-)
    Great for you doing this hike! You will hear people tell you not to hike alone, but clearly in your video, there were other people around.
    It's a workout, but the benefits, including the views, are well worth it!
    Great job!!!
