Valhalla Peak — Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025

Did Valhalla yesterday from the Dosewallips trailhead. Absolutely brutal, the last mile is especially tiring after the first two 1200+ gain miles. AllTrails clocked about 4900 ft of gain, but I don’t know how accurate that actually is. Would definitely bring a decent amount of food to ensure you’re energized enough. I only had a quarter bag of trailmix, and was starting to feel really sleepy and groggy at the top because I was starving. Anyways, the trail conditions are practically perfect, I’m shocked by how nice the trail was from this start point given its relative unpopularity. There are about 6 or so downed trees, a couple being somewhat difficult to climb around. But overall nothing to be concerned about. There is also one small landslide area about a third of the way up that has brought down a lot of loose scraggly plants that made that section of the trail narrow and easily trippable if you don’t have good balance. The top is completely snow free. As brutal as this hike was, I would definitely do it again, that view of Mount Constance is just too beautiful to avoid.
