This trip is for Olympia Branch Alpine Scramble students who need a snow scramble to fulfill course requirements. Everyone else who is qualified will be allowed to register beginning 5/11/26.
Unless the road to Reflection Lakes is opened by then, I anticipate starting at Narada Falls and taking the Stevens Canyon Rd to Reflection Lakes, at which point we will head up to toward and east of The Castle and then over to Foss Peak.
Olympia Students -- You may sign up for this scramble after the successful completion of the first snow field trip but you will not be allowed to go on the trip unless you have successfully completed both Snow 1 and Snow 2 field trips. You will also not be permitted to go if you have not successfully completed your conditioner. This same criteria applies to students from other branches.
We will travel as a group at a moderate pace (about 1,000 ft/hr).
Further details will be emailed to participants after registration closes.
