Looking to challenge yourself on an epic eight-day, 93-mile complete circumnavigation backpacking trip of Washington’s Mt. Rainier? Are you ready for stellar views of this iconic mountain and its glaciers from every angle possible? You’ll travel through challenging terrain, diverse ecosystems, and experience the high passes and valleys that total almost 25,000ft of elevation gain and loss. Join the camaraderie of like-minded Eagles as we build resilience and make memories on the unforgettable bucket list event that is the Wonderland Trail! Arrival and staging will be 3 September 2025, our first day of the hike will be the 4th, and our 8th and final day will be 11 Sep 2025, where we will dedicate the miles traveled that day in honor of the first responders who answered the call and climbed the World Trade Center on September 11th 2001. 

This will be one of Team RWB’s longest and most physically demanding Eagle Expeditions ever offered and will push you to your limits. You should be capable of backpacking multiple consecutive days with a 35lb pack for distances of up to 17 miles per day. You should have most of your own equipment and be comfortable in primitive backcountry campsites without running water. You will be asked to fundraise to participate in this Expedition.
