Gobblers Knob Trail is a 11.2-mile out-and-back foot trail in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. It climbs 2,585 ft to a high point of 5,436 ft. Difficulty: very strenuous, from the NPS hiking-rating formula. That is the full hike: the mapped trail line covers only 3.8 mi of it, so don't plan from the map line alone. The figure is for the Park Service's “Hike to Gobblers Knob Fire Lookout” hike, which uses this trail.
