Tips

Of all the established routes heading up Mount Massive, the Southwest Slopes route has got to be the steepest. You climb well over 1,000 feet per mile for about two miles while switching back and forth between boulder fields and some cliff areas. This trail is not for the faint of heart! It is much shorter than the classic Southeast route, but it is also much steeper so running is limited on the uphill and quad-pounding on the downhill.
