When completed, the Ice Age Trail will snake more than 1,000 miles through the state, winding in and out of deep woods, tracking glacial features and connecting hundreds of trailheads from the shores of the Green Bay to the Minnesota border.
Once you arrive, we recommend driving about one mile beyond the first trailhead where from a short walk toward the mountain will lead you to the highest concentration of stones.
Brand experiences--from Trailhead, The North Face's hiking path locator, to Allergycast, Johnson & Johnson's pollen index counter--transform passively received "propositions" into actual services.
These are the Newfound Gap trail-head, Sweat Heifer Creek Trail (2.7 km from Newfound Gap trailhead), Boulevard Trail turnoff (1.6 km from Sweat Heifer Creek Trail), Ice Water Spring Shelter (0.3 km from Boulevard Trail turnoff), and Charlies Bunion (2.1 km from Ice Water Spring Shelter).
In 2003, floods washed out large portions of the Suiattle River Road, beginning 12.5 mile from the trailhead, making Image Lake more accessible from Holden or Trinity.
We had come to explore for a few days, throwing bikes on a car rack to take them from trailhead to trailhead.
In summer the small parking lots near the trailhead are restricted from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to overnight backpackers, hikers with infants and people with handicapped-parking permits.
Rather, they featured scenes of different attractions and activities and carried compare-and-contrast headlines like "Fresh ingredients and fresh air," "From trailhead to curtain call," "Ride through the town or high above it" and "Explore the West and take home a piece of it".
The route gains about 5700 feet in elevation over about 6 mile from trailhead to summit but does not demand the technical climbing that some other Cascade peaks like Mount Rainier do.
