Mailbox Peak was a beast of a hike. I imagine it still is, but I also think they switchbacked it during trail renovations. Tough to access right now due to the paving of Middle Fork Road.
Mason Lake is 2400' of gain in a little over 3 miles one way...also a pretty good grind.
All 3 are pretty close to Seattle.

Mt. Si is 4 miles and 2900' of elevation gain. Do it 1 way in under 2 hours and it's a great workout. Put 50# in your pack and it's even better.

Done those. My favorite is McClellan Butte. 4 miles and 3700' gain one way. Plus it gets 1/5 of the traffic as Mt Si, Mailbox, Bandera/Granite etc
I'm up for a hike on the 28th if the Special Olympics in Leavenworth are cancelled due to lack of snow. I volunteer at the Cross country ski event.

Last time I did Mt. Si I was the 1st one in the parking lot in the morning and the 1st one on top. 6:30am is a good time to hit it. Ran into a few people on the way down.
I don't like Mt Si for the crowds and the lack of anything interesting to look at for 8 miles. 1 cool view at the top and that's it. It is good for a workout though.

If you ever come up north, Chuckanut Mt. has some trails that go UP. Try the Oyster Dome on a clear day & the view is a good reward. :tup:
I'll have to do that. Put some names to faces with the guys up north.

Wagonwheel lake trail. Above Cushman. Very demanding trail. I think it was 2.9m and ?3200ft climb. Plus you can keep going if thats not enough.Ya, Wagonwheel is a ripper. Did it in the winter one time, that was dumb.
I like to do Mt Elinor in the winter and summer, gorgeous day hike.

If you are not scrambling over blowdown and snags, then you are conditioning for eastside or a stroll around Green Lake.

We will have earned it.
And totally eliminated any point in completing this hike in the 1st place.

Pretty sure Mailbox Peak is not accessible right now due to construction/paving on Middle Fork Road.
And it's all switchbacked now since they renovated it, so not as steep as it was.

Mailbox is open. Gate closes at 6pm so make sure you allow extra time. We were up there on Sunday and the trail was busy. Not real happy about the new trail as that was part of the beauty of the hike was that the trail was absolute garbage an kept people off of it. Still a good hike though, the boulder field has 0 snow which sucks otherwise nice hike.
