Bobs Mountain, WA | Feb 25

The hike to Bob’s has almost doubled. From just over 3 mi RT to just over 6 mi RT. Elevation gain increased 400ft from 1100 to 1500. The Washington DNR has placed a new gate at 45.64596, -122.20734. There was no signage and I am not sure if the gate will always be closed. But seems prudent to plan on the longer hike. There is plenty of parking near the gate. Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of trash on the hill, which was always the down side of doing this peak. Thanks to Jeff (WJ7V) for providing a garbage bag and carrying it as he, Etienne (K7ATN), and I tried to remove at least some of the litter on the way down.
