Geocache Description:

This cache is location roughly halfway up Fuller Mountain, a little bump in the otherwise flat valley floor of the North Fork Snoqualmie River near Klaus Lake. The trail up to this point follows a relatively gentle gradient, although there are a couple of rough passages through rock fields that you must negotiate before reaching the cache site. From the cache, the trail continues on up to the mountain summit, gaining the rest of its elevation in a series of steep switchbacks.


A view over Klaus Lake on the way up Fuller Mountain

Fuller Mountain seems barely deserving of the "mountain" moniker, rising just 900 feet from the floor of the North Fork Snoqualmie River Valley to a lowly altitude of 1880 feet. However, you might give this little molehill more respect after climbing its trail, which provides more challenge than you might expect given its moderate elevation gain and mere 1.9 mile length.

More information about the trail, along with directions and downloadable additional waypoints, are available on lucyandrickie's excellent Fuller Mountain Benchmark cache, which should not be missed after finding this cache.

This is an official MidMountain Mountaineers cache. We are a loose collection of hikers/cachers who believe the journey is more important than the summit. Enjoy our caches about halfway up!
