Miles of expansive, alpine perfection.
Stage: 50 Miles, 2 Days
The Goat Rocks Wilderness is one of the most spectacular pockets of the Cascadia region. If narrow ridgelines, volcano views, and endless alpine single track is your jam, then this trip is your bliss.
This stage trip is a GREAT fit for EXPERIENCED runners READY to run multiple days of high mileage and BIG elevation gain in rugged terrain.
ASPIRE Operates SHUTTLES to the mountain, then moves basecamp each day & meets runners at the finish with a vibrant apres- run scene.
