Hiking the Scott Paul Trail Loop near Mt. Baker

AUGUST 2024

Scott Paull Trail Loop Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest

Length: 7.9 mi Elevation gain: 1,942 ft Route type: Loop

One last blast in the northern Washington area. I enjoyed most of the morning having the trail to myself! Nothing to see here except great views and beautiful weather!

The Scott Paul Trail Loop is historically significant for its role in the 1930s conservation movement, when local hikers banded together to protect the area from logging. This grassroots effort led to the establishment of the trail, which showcases the region’s natural beauty and serves as a testament to community commitment to preserving the environment. -ChatGPT
