About the Ptarmigan Traverse hike

Ptarmigan Traverse (North Cascades National Park) is a 34.7-mile point-to-point route with 11,003 feet of gain. Elevation ranges from 1,545 feet to 7,833 feet. The steepest pitch reaches 98 percent, against an average of 317 feet of gain per mile. On our gain-and-distance scale it falls in the very strenuous band.

The elevation profile shown here is drawn from 164 points sampled along the real Ptarmigan Traverse track, and the poster's contour lines come from the same terrain data. The high point comes about 19.7 miles in. Pick a style and size on this page and it is printed to order.
