The steepest pitch reaches 50 percent, against an average of 984 feet of gain per mile. On our gain-and-distance scale it falls in the very strenuous band.

Every Outposters print of Desolation Peak Trail is rendered from this route's elevation data: 281 sampled points and 4,528 feet of climb, drawn natively for each size. The high point comes at the far end of the route. It is printed to order in every size and style listed on this page.

The trail

Desolation Peak is in the North Cascade Mountains of Washington state, about 6.2 miles (10.0 km) south of the Canada–United States border and in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area. It was first climbed in 1926 by Lage Wernstedt, who named it for the destruction caused by a forest fire that swept the slopes bare that same year.
