Panhandle Gap

Trail crosses the gap in the center

... that the day hike to Panhandle Gap (pictured) is very popular, being over 10 miles with 3,000 feet elevation gain?

Beautiful photos here! It is new enough, long enough, the QPQ is good, the article is well-written and reliably sourced, and the photo is clear and attractive at this size. But I don't think there's anything unusual or interesting about this fact—that a hike is popular, long, and elevated is not that remarkable. I also tagged an issue with "Summerland" being referred to without introduction. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 07:37, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- If you've ever been to a national park, the crowds disappear within a few miles of the trailhead. Most people are not willing to hike 10+ miles (t · c) buidhe 14:12, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

I don’t think the remarkableness of this fact is apparent to people who don’t hike national parks. Can you propose some alternates?꧁Zanahary꧂ 16:58, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

ALT1... although rated "possibly the best day hike" in Mount Rainier National Park, you cannot see Rainier from Panhandle Gap (pictured)? (t · c) buidhe 23:41, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! ꧁Zanahary꧂ 00:48, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
