I need everyones help... I am thinking about doing mt. margret tomorrow. But don't know anything about it. Most of the stuff i read says you have to pass through one gat after another. Is there any better description of this trip out there? Someone's own rendition would be fine to! Directions? Elevation in and out? How longs it take? How crowded?

Which Mt Margaret? If it's the one up by Snoqualmie Pass (NW of Keechelus Ridge), I'd think there'd be too much snow to get to the normal trailhead, and you might be fighting snowmobiles part of the way.

You can avoid some of the snowmoblie traffic by using the route shown on Mt Margaret map. The south, false summit is relatively straightforward. Watch out for avy hazard and choose your route carefully.

What's a "gat"?

Clearly, the writer meant to write "gate", but has irresponcible spelling.

No, no, no....a "gat" is a type of wormhole. Not a full-blown wormhole, just a little one. You don't end up in a new dimension, only part of you does. If you don't pass through them correctly, you end up looking like Picasso's "Three Musicians." But if you do it correctly, you hardly notice a difference at all, except an unusual craving for red licorice, the quality kind - Twizzlers, not that cheap stuff from 7-11. Anyway, if you pass through the gats correctly, you're at the Mt. Maggie trailhead.

Since the orginal question has been answered, I feel the reconsibility to drift this thread and address the licorice issue for once and for all. 1. Twizzlers is/are NOT quality licorice. When I was a trick or treater, if any of us siblings got licorice, trust me, it was a bad day in Black Rock. You couldn't trade them for anything except maybe a comic from a a piece of bubblegum, and that was only if the comic wasn't good. The fact that something is individually wrapped means nothing. You're mileage may vary, but I will never be convinced wise or otherwise. -rv forever

I'd have to agree. Twizzlers are more akin to red-flavored wax or plastic (if red has a flavor, that is) than anything even remotely licorice-like. Give me my Red Vines or Red Ropes anyday. Michael

The thread police, a department of homeland security, is going to whack all the licorice people for polluting an otherwise perfectly boring post about hiking with off-the-thread comments about licorice. Besides, the only licorice-flavored substance worth its salt is Ouzo, preferably the real Greek stuff.

That red crap has nothing to do with licorice. That's all I have to say about that.
