Mashel Mountain

Pierce County

Peakbagging Washington

Mashel Mountain is a prominent point located between The Divide and Wild Benchmark. The summit is defined on top but lacks any qualities worth visiting...other than to the peakbagger, who finds having 800 feet of prominence quite appealing. The road near the top is overgrowing, one may need to hike the last quarter or half mile. A harvest should occur around 2036 which will improve the road and open the views....if you can wait that long.

Elevation: 3,460 feet
Hiking Distance: Half mile at most
Elevation Gain: 200 feet
Access: Good gravel and crushed-rock roads
