____________________________________________At PNWTRC events, we welcome all types of RCs. Allowing both comp and non-comp rigs to run with us.
We will meet up at 11am at the trailhead to have a quick drivers meeting before heading onto the trail. This is an open event to run whatever RC car. Though you are responsible for what you bring to the event. Bashers/Bouncers can be a little tough to navigate up a trail, just mind your batteries and remain in control of your car.

Description:
Between 1928 and 1971, a fire lookout perched atop the mountain was called the Pinnacle Peak Lookout, thereby dubbing the summit with a third name: "Pinnacle Peak". The two trails that approach the summit even have their own names: The Cal Magnusson trail, and the more direct South Trail. But whatever you call this delightful dayhike in Enumclaw, you'll get to the same place; a beautiful site of a former lookout with views of the White River drainage and the jewel of the southern Cascades: Mount Rainier. Visitors can hike, bike, run or watch wildlife.
Following the Cal Magnusson Trail, hikers will climb 1000 feet in a mile, ensuring a healthy workout through thick forest. Hikers may find fascination in the basalt outcroppings just short of the summit; these are formed by the rapid cooling of lava tubes and are relatively common in the South Cascades, though always an interesting sight.
