Mailbox Peak Via Old Trail and New Trail - Seattle, WA

May 21, 2017

Mailbox Peak hike is one of the most popular hikes in the Greater Seattle area. Since the new trail was built, it seems to have gained more popularity, perhaps, shoulder to shoulder with another popular local hike Mt. Si.

Mailbox Peak is a challenging hike, however. The trails are steep gaining 4,000' in 2.5 miles via Old Trail or 4,000' in 5 miles via New Trail. Either way, it's a tough hike; and yet, the reward you see from the top is worth the effort - sweeping views in all directions!...many notable peaks of N. Cascades and Olympic ranges, Puget Sound cities/lakes and beyond.

And yes, indeed, there is a mailbox on the top!....waiting for a mail delivery from you! ;)
