Hike Washington State | What to Expect on the Mailbox Peak Old Trail

Mailbox Peak is one of the best and most difficult hikes you can do in Washington State. The trailhead just 40 minutes outside of Seattle. We hiked up the Mailbox Peak Old Trail one Tuesday after work and made sure to document it all, so you can know to expect hiking Mailbox Peak on the Old Trail. The original Mailbox Peak trail features a 5.4-mile roundtrip hike with 4,000 feet of elevation gain. If you do the math, then you're hiking 2.7 miles from the trailhead to the peak. Doesn't sound that bad at first, right? Well, factor in the 4000 feet of elevation gain, and you're looking at about 1500 feet of elevation gain per mile. If you spit your coffee out reading that, I can understand why. Check out my full blog post to read more about the hike: https://bit.ly/mailbox-peak-trail Hiking the Mailbox Peak Old Trail took me 2 hours and 13 minutes to reach the peak and 2 hours to hike the new trail back to the car. The Mailbox Peak Old Tail is not for the faint of heart. This trail is so strenuous that the Washington Trails Association decided to build a new, gentler path to the peak. The new trail sits at 9.4 miles roundtrip with an elevation gain of about 850 per mile. You're still climbing a total of 4,000 feet in elevation, but it is not nearly as strenuous.
