Join us for a beautiful hike at Heather Lake on Saturday June 13, 2026. This is a moderate hike with a good elevation gain with spectacular views of Mt. Pilchuck. This hike goes through the forest and around the lake with some great classic PNW lush greenery.
Fr. Nathaniel Maria Mayne, O.P will be celebrating Mass for us at the top and we will eat lunch before heading back to the trailhead.
We will meet at the trailhead at 9:15 am (recommended 7:45am departure time from Seattle) and be back in Seattle around 4:30pm.
Details
This is a moderate difficulty hike. It is 5 miles round trip with roughly 1,200 feet of elevation gain. The path is fairly rocky and has parts with tree roots as well. There are a couple of switch backs at the beginning. The higher up there are more rocks and roots on the path. Expected hiking time is about 4 hours out and back. We will stop for an hour at the lake for Mass and lunch after. You can expect to be back in Seattle around 4:30pm.
