Secluded alpine lakes and multiple waterfalls, making the challenging terrain and technical rock scrambling worth it.
Such stunning views, but the 2 miles of choss (up & down) after leaving the nice trail may not be worth it for many.
Week long climb on the Columbia Ice Field
A fun scramble with one 50' rappel. No snow at this time.
Sweeping views of Mount Rainier and the White River Valley on a beautiful, sunny day.
Perfect river day
A long, fun climb in the North Cascades requiring a variety of alpine climbing skills.
This scramble provided us with exceptionally beautiful mountain views, varied terrain, and some fun T4 rock and snow scrambling.
This lesser known Wonderland Trail 17 mile loop, makes a classic trip with big views. Competing with wildflowers, waterfalls, a suspension bridge, a glacier and a few challenges it shouldn't be missed as a local backpack destination.
A complete day- over 12 hours and over 12 miles, round trip. We had a group that was strong and committed to supporting each other, committed to contributing to our success.
Intertidal area below Constellation Park is rich in animal and seaweed diversity due to the many different types of habitats.
A wonderful and certainly challenging ascent of Challenger with an approach via Easy Ridge and the Imperfect Impass.
What a fun scramble with beautiful views. If there are people on the west summit, they will be watching you.
First team on the summit on a busy weekend in the Olympics!
Successful C2C summit of Sahale Peak via Quien Sabe Glacier, descending via Sahale Arm/Cascade Pass trail.
Single day climb of Ragged Edge with great weather and climbing conditions
Successful summit of Canoe Peak with intense bush bashing and terrible drive to the trailhead.
A good class on a beautiful summer day in lovely Hammersley Inlet!
Moderately easy hike to former lookout. IMO wildflower & butterfly abundance & variety rivals anywhere at Mt Rainier NP without the hassle of timed entry. Corral Pass Rd can be accomplished with good tires & an SUV.
