Old_Man Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 Have thought of doing the Stevens-to-Snoqualmie "dayer," or sumthun like that. How long does it usually take, and is it a "reasonable" day trip going light? Distance? Once thought to do the Wonderland in a day...but then thought a 3 day early Sept trip would be more enjoyable. No or little snow, except for the E side, and not too cold. Would take 1 bag for 2 people, and a bibler. Nuts, sandwiches, and the carbos, but no stove to save weight (polar pure instead). Other ideas for lightweight travel you've been using?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Man Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 In regards to the record, I think Timmy's right. Seems to me it's like between 20-21...done a few years back. There's a regular group of runners who do a 3-day supported "run" round the mountain every August. I'm sure this group's got the tabs on who's got the actual record time.

Norman_Clyde Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Stevens to Snoqualmie on the PCT is something like 62 miles. I don't have any figures on elevation gain and loss. This would be easier as a one day event, since you could probably do it dawn to dusk in June or July (if you moved fast). I emailed Krissy Moehl of Montrail about Wonderland Trail times, and she mentioned that group that does it in 3 days, but I don't have their names and haven't contacted them. Probably worth doing if anyone is going to seriously go after this as a goal. Ever since yesterday morning, when I thrashed myself running up and down Chuckanut Mountain twice in 3 hours, I've been less than fully enthusiastic about a 93 mile ultra-suffer fest. I guess it depends on how fast I recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegetablebelay Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 PCT between Snoqualmie and Stevens is 70 miles. http://www.vermont-st.com/pct/overview.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 didn't the guy who went missing in the three sisters do the wonderland trail in under 24? I was pretty sure of this. I don't think it's too uncommon from the little I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman_Clyde Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 I did the Chuckanut 50K yesterday, which has further diminished my enthusiasm to go after a 24 hour Wonderland circuit. 31 miles in 5 hours was a suffer-fest extraordinaire. It's amusing to read my own post of a few weeks ago, when I claimed to have thrashed myself on the 18 mile trail portion, because by yesterday I was already looking at that training run through rose-colored glasses, thinking I had felt more or less fine afterwards. Well, if by a few weeks from now I have become delusional about the self-inflicted punishment I endured yesterday, I can go back to this thread to jog my memory.

catbirdseat Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Mack Bates did Snoqualmie to Stevens in a day about ten years ago. He talks about it in his book on Three Fingers Lookout. He ran the first 40 or so miles and then walked/jogged the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
