Awesome 2 day high elevation scramble adventure!
Wonderful 14 day trekking and sightseeing trip to Morocco.
We had a sunny pleasant day with reasonable snow conditions. 5 students were successful on their first snow scramble.
Bring snowshoes - lots of postholing (& large tree wells) after a warm & sunny weekend. Didn’t submit Foss Peak due to apparent avalanche risk.
Early season conditions exists including unpacked snow (needs floatation), scattered snow on the climbing route (mostly after the top of the 3rd pitch) and continuous slide activity on the sunny day in the area (approach route was out of the way). Rock itself was in great shape and the climbing part was dry, sunny and fun.
We scouted the east side of the Church Creek Trail for an Olympia Branch National Trails Day stewardship trip on June 1st. We found plenty of work for stewards to do with saws, loppers, grub hoes, shovels and other trail tools.
A trip up the winter route on Mount Ellinor on the nicest day so far this year. The chute is opening up quickly and it may not be glissadable for much longer.
Easy hike to the river, lots of wildlife.
DO NOT HIKE THIS AREA IN THE RAIN. The soil is a fine clay that will turn to a treacherous slip & slide once wet and clings to all the crevasses in your boots. On dry days, this is a wonderful area to see views and wildflowers. Also, these trails are multi-use so keep an eye out for cyclists.

La Push is an excellent venue for intermediate/advanced Rock Gardening outing/course. Close variety and proximity of features.
Nice, flat hike in the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River area followed by a invigorating climb to the Garfield Ledges overlook. 8.5 miles overall.
Our group of seven spent 7 days on the The San Juan River paddling from Sand Island, near Bluff, Utah, 83 river miles downstream to Clay Hills. Along the way we hiked and explored the washes and canyons containing Puebloan ruins, rock art and breathtaking scenery.
At 1,030 CFS a fun outing worth repeating. Much more action than Lower White. We had the added bonus of spotting a UFO in the form of a white orb hovering over the ridge as we approached Greenwater.
