Day Hiking
Successful
A very nice paddle with pleasant company on one of the most flawless days in March I have ever seen!
Easy day hike in mature forest, some creek and mountain views
One day outing for some easy trad at Castle Rock. Posting this conditions report for upcoming early season Leavenworth trips.
Lovely evening for a walk in the woods
This is a one-way walk , starting at the Washington Park Playfields , and ending at Stan Sayres Park . We toured many Parks on this walk , with great views .
With just the right amount of switchbacks, the 7º uphill grade is good toning up for spring & summer hiking (btw that's about the same grade as Mt Si, considered to be 8º)
This is an interesting and strenuous snowshoe route from Greenwater trailhead to the PCT, Government Meadow, and Naches Pass. Camping is available at a number of meadows along the route, particularly between 3.5 and 3.8 miles. Image is Mike Urich Cabin at Goverment Meadow.
Our moderate conditioning hike turned into more workout than anticipated. One person said, "I'm feeling muscles in my arms that I didn't think were part of this conditioning routine".
This is a one-way walk starting at the Triangle , U of W , and ending at the Washington Park Playfield. We toured the Arboretum , Washington Park , Interlaken Park , Louisa Boren Park , and Volunteer Park .
An exploratory winter scramble in the NE corner of the Olympic Mountains. Without doubt, the best all around venue for rhododendron appreciation, full body bushwhack brush up, dramatic views, and wintertime workout (~11 miles, 4000’ gain). [Lead photo by Jesse Bengtsson]
This is a pretty route with lake views to a waterfall viewpoint and not very challenging. Route is shared with snowmobilers.
Fun rapids, some challenging, wood hazards, wintery mix and driving hale.
Ketchum, Idaho has some of the West's best XC ski trails, and it is only a short flight or a one-day drive from Western WA.
We completed a one-way walk from the Ballard Locks to the Woodland Park Zoo. Several of the Olmsted Parks were toured .
Ten fantastic days trekking the O Circuit in Patagonia's Torres del Paine
Wonderful, sunny winter day with lots of great views at Mount Rainier on snowshoes to Panorama Point!
Had a great day on our hike up to Rattlesnake Ledge and then around Rattlesnake Lake.
