Wy’east Wonder

Bennett Pass Sno Park Mt. Hood

The original east-of-Wy’east race, this 50-miler and 50K is super scenic with so many mountain views. You will want to return to these ridge line trails again and again. The Wy’east Wonder is a point-to-point race run mostly on two ridges alongside Mt. Hood; Gunsight Ridge and Surveyor’s Ridge. You will have so many views of Wy’east (the Multnomah Tribe word for Mt.

The 50M route has 7,082′ of elevation gain and 10,012 of loss. The 50K has 4,193′ of gain and 7,122′ of loss.
