First time hiking as a mountaineer and the experience was wonderful (friendly, fun, interesting). The hike was beautiful and had a great destination.
Beautiful fall colors right now. A lovely, mellow hike anyone in fairly decent shape can do.
A Fall hike into gorgeous Blanca Lake. Index-Galena Road is open again and the trail is in reasonable condition. A well-used and rooty trail with a jade-green lake at the end.
Spectacular scenery, golden larches in the fall, and views of Mount Stuart. Truely a backcountry route with rugged steep and rocky trails and some route-finding required!
A fun scramble with lots of variety in terrain, grippy rock, impressive views, and gorgeous fall color.
An easy and short climb to nearby Hermans Peak is well worth it for better views of all the nearby lakes and peaks, especially if a stop at Mt Pilchuck is not on the agenda.
