This was a successful sailing trip with myself (skipper), Kat Hurd (2023 Tacoma Sailing Student), and Alison Pride (past sailing student & experienced crew). It was a cold and blustery weather day, but still a fun and educational trip.
Breaking trail after the season's first decent snowfall. A very fun adventure, atypical of the normally fast and well groomed system at Cabin Creek. Almost no skaters due to the deep ungroomed snow.
A gradual incline up an old logging road in the beauty of winter.
From I-90 overpass, we proceeded to Sahalie Ski Lodge to start our trip into the Basin. To reach the constructed bridge over Commonwealth Creek, we crossed two tributaries with open, running water.
This is a two loop Go Walk tour of Green Lake , Cowen , and Ravenna Parks . The route included the Green Lake and Ravenna Neighborhoods .
New year's day paddle around Burrows and Allen islands on a mild winter day.
Fun challenging trip with unique fog covered views! Really enjoyed this experience.
If you're looking for an easily-accessible, somewhat shorter snowshoe trip that takes participants through a forest of snowclad trees and interesting creek crossings in the Commonwealth Basin, this is it!
A brisk and strenuous day made more so by a recent (day before) foot of light powder snow plus brilliant (and cold) blue skies. We renewed our ‘winter scramble chops’ with the snow covered brush and talus terrain on the ridges between Blowdown and Dixie.
Enjoyable outing. Brian did an excellent job co-leading.
A mild and sunny day on opening day of the Bald Eagle Interpretive Center in Rockport. We saw very few eagles, about 2 dozen, and a gaggle of common mergansers.
A beautiful day in the snow on Mt. Rainier with an amazing group.
Excellent condition and camaraderie, trail gets busy pass mid-morning.
As Charles Dickens said, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…”, just like this trip to Arthur Peak. A morning with perfect cold/dry conditions, followed by an afternoon of very wet type two fun.
A quick, steep and damp hike up on a Middle Fork day hike rarity.
Stellar Summit of Shasta - with a perfect road trip from Seattle. We had a perfect weather window in between two snow storms.
Close looks at wintering birds. Good birding no matter what weather.
Wonderful Scramble to one of the Tallest volcanoes in the Southern Oregon Belt
