Information for Thru-Hikers
We receive a number of thru-hikers at the resort every season. Whether you're hiking the PCT, PNT, or another amazing North Cascade Mountain trail, here is some information you may find helpful.
Hiker Boxes
We accept hiker boxes at the resort! Here is what you need to know:
Fee
$25 per package. If you do not pick-up your package, it is donated to our communal hiker supplies. If you would like your package(s) to be returned to you, it is $25 per package for us to get it back to the Post Office.
Shipping Timeline
Allow as much time as possible (at least 4 to 6 weeks) as it can take quite some time for us to receive packages.
Packaging
Use more tape than cardboard. Your packages are moved a lot and go through a number of hands, cars, trucks, and boats.
