The steepest pitch reaches 23 percent, against an average of 104 feet of gain per mile. On our gain-and-distance scale it falls in the very strenuous band. The nearest town is Prairie Ridge, about 15 miles away.

The trail

Carbon Glacier is located on the north slope of Mount Rainier in the U.S. state of Washington and is the source of the Carbon River. The snout at the glacier terminal moraine is at about 3,500 feet (1, 100 m) above sea level, making it the lowest-elevation glacier in the contiguous United States.
