First 3 miles relatively flat, 1 mile uphill to Ranger falls trail is fine, minor wet/ muddy spots, last .8 miles to Green lake good. Forest ranger warned us that the trail to Chenoweth falls across the river the second bridge washed out, he discouraged anyone from crossing the knee deep fast running cold water. Forest service is focusing on repairing the up- river bridge for Carbon river crossing for the Wonderland trail. He hoped the next 2 weeks that bridge would be repaired.
Very lucky to have the perfect weather window to climb Mt Shasta
Participants and responders learned a lot about kayak rescues on the water
snow from guye/snoqualmie fork in trail
A warm evening with clear skies made for a beautiful trip to Olallie Lake.
Fun 1/2 day run with a real class III rapid and dozens of playful class II boulder gardens and wave trains. 980 CFS was on the light side but ample for packrafts. Nothing beats boating on a rainy day.
A somewhat misty day, but still plenty of views (including the scene of the Osceola Mudflow) on this strenuous 14 mile/4000’ gain scramble. Besides ample viewpoints, the day included a pristine alpine lake (Lake 5580), and a chance to evaluate snow conditions in the surrounding area. [Lead photo by Jesse Bengtsson]
Fun 2-day adventure with our mountain bikes.
Successful climb in clear conditions
Beautiful low country and snow free but upper 6000ft is super cold and still 4-6 feet snow cover.
Got lucky with a narrow weather window to successfully complete the climb. Approach scrambling was just as bad as other trip reports said!
Canceled due to lack of participants.
Scramble students persevered through challenging conditions.
Will be a very nice trail once the snow has melted more.
Early season climb with soft snow and whiteout conditions
Nine Mountaineers from the Olympia Branch spent a grand weekend camping among old growth trees in the Campbell Tree Grove Campground and clearing the upper reaches of the beautiful West Fork Humptulips River trail in the heart of the Olympic Peninsula.
Successful and totally fun women’s scramble of Foss Peak.
