Beautiful day with a good team.
Beautiful day-long adventure to this fairly remote area of our favorite Park!
Beautiful views despite some tedious chossy sidehilling.
We launched in the Woodard Bay Natural Resources Conservation Area, at the canoe launch next to the parking lot. We then paddled out through Woodard Bay, into Chapman Bay, then north in Henderson Inlet, up to Cliff Point, where we turned around and returned to the launch site.
A gorgeous and immersive alpine traverse to the summit of Mount Deception (2nd highest peak in the Olympic Mountains). Miles of ridge running as well as many tarns/basins bereft of other humans.
Up and over the west ridge with light overnight gear and no need for any snow gear. We summited on our first day, and descended to bivy sites at 7700' amongst some trees next to the Cascadian Couloir, then an easy hike out on Sunday.
Beautiful location, but hard trail with all the roots, rocks, steep incline, and boulders that have to be crossed. Wildflowers were out, minimal bugs, and plenty of water sources!
Probably one of the most rewarding trips for me so far! A challenge, but oh so worth it. The views and the people in our group were spectacular!
A specular 5-day backpack through the southern uncrowded section of Oregon's Eagle Cap Wilderness.
Long day with challenging off-trail routefinding to a seldom visited area of Mount Rainier.
We had a great hike, but be warned the gate is understaffed and can close at anytime.
Navigation and some T3/T4 moves on the ridgeline made the trip so much fun. And the views in the area were great!
A wonderful mixed terrain climb with great views going up Quien Sabe glacier, stunning 360 degree views from the summit, and spectacular views going down the Sahale glacier.
Faint trail at times, so not for the faint of heart hiker.
We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day!
A three-day backpacking trip along the ONP coast from Oil City to Third Beach. Field trip for the Seattle Coastal Backpacking Course.
Great beginner climb, interesting mix of terrain, nothing too hard.
Turned the team around just below the last part of snow dome.
