On a foggy morning the section 10 steward walked with a group from Seacrest Foot Ferry Terminal in West Seattle, along Alki Trail into West Seattle neighborhoods, down the stairs onto the Spokane Street Bridge and into downtown Seattle.
8 of us enjoyed a lovely winter morning with no rain or wind and 37 bird species including 4 bald eagles, wood ducks, green-winged teals, and a raft of over a thousand coots, wigeons, and gadwalls.
A beautiful sunny day on Squak Mountain
8 of us had a fabulous time hiking to Dingford Creek Bridge and back with clear, crisp conditions, over/around/under 42 blowdowns, and across 33 bridges and walkways. A beautiful trail in need of some TLC.
A gorgeous day with stunning views, wonderful people, and a great workout to boot (of all kinds, hiking, scrambling, & navigation). A beautiful trip made even better by unseasonably warm temperatures (at least during the day) and prior snow melting that allowed us to leave the snowshoes at the cars.
Our Olympia Branch basic snowshoe skills group enjoyed a successful and educational winter outing on Tahoma, traveling approximately 3 miles with 900' elevation gain. Conditions were excellent for learning, with firm snow, clear skies, and classic Cascade winter scenery that provided both beauty and practical teaching opportunities.
Glorious 3-day / 2-night snowshoe trip at Hurricane Ridge. Nonstop views of Mount Olympus, stunning day trip to the summit of Eagle Point, and route-finding our way towards Obstruction Peak.
My ‘26 resolution is to walk this 75 (70?) mile circuit, 1 section/month, ideally. A frighteningly beautiful day for January (kids playing IN StREAM at Golden Gardens)!! Enjoyed the PDF tips and map! Excited to tackle section 2 in Feb!
Beautiful early morning outing down North, up Seminary, down South, and back up North trail with birdsong, sunshine, and my dog Ajax.
Blue skies above, but fog on the water in the morning. Bright cloudless sunny afternoon for this tour of the Case Inlet.
Sunny summit of Red Mountain North peak and main peak - Drastically low snow than previous years
Recent storms have devastated the area with blowdowns of old burnt trees
Day hike up the Catherine Creek Loop trail and down the Tracy Hill trail to check out the Natural Arch. This area burned in 2025 but the trail is open.
Blue sky and sunshine snowshoe day. The weather couldn't have been better.
A beautiful day of cross-country skiing at the top of the world at Echo Ridge overlooking Lake Chelan
A great paddle past dramatic cliffs and waterfalls on a bright sunny day!
We completed a one-way trip scrambling Old Pass Hill and Cairn Hill on a moody day.
7 of us enjoyed this very wet scouting trip that ended up at Pratt River Big Tree on a rare sunny and foggy (no rain!) January day.
Wonderful Tuesday hike at the Dosewallips State Park in the warm weather. Started on the Maple Valley trail and continued on the Steam Donkey Loop trail ending with a walk out to the tidelands.
