Fun day on the snow, tagging four different lakes.
Successful outing with a great group in excellent conditions
Excellent strenuous winter scramble with minimal avalanche exposure
A nice day with no rain until almost back to the cars!
Unexpectedly gorgeous weather on this great Winter Scramble workout (~14 miles, ~3800’ gain). The historically most troublesome stream crossing (Pyramid Creek) has a bridge in immaculate condition.
A delay in the opening of the Paradise gate due to 3" of overnight snow precip, led us to execute our Plan B to Reflection lake from Longmire and it was not disappointing.
A beautiful paddle along an almost unspoiled and dramatic shoreline with lots of wildlife. This rarely paddled trip is a gem that I highly recommend.
Successful winter climb of Axis from Stuart Lake.
Great day teaching Basic Snowshoeing students .
This is an excellent loop hike to start the hiking season . We hiked , including views , in beautiful forest and wetlands . The trails are well maintained and we experienced minimal wet conditions .
Although a long commute (especially with the ferry ride), this gorgeous and strenuous venue near Lake Crescent gave us stunning views of the inner Olympics. Especially appreciated after the recent frozen rain weather antics in the lowland areas. (Lead photo by Jesse Bengtsson)
Well done and thanks Wild Bill for setting this up WHAT a great day

Nice trip to kendall peak lakes
Gust up to 38 mph? We decided to camp, but change our location to a more protected location. Great decision and a great trip
Exploratory Snowshoe Trip from the Swauk Campground Sno-Park
A stormy paddle downwind from Luhr Beach through Tacoma Narrows to Owen Beach.
Decent early season ski tour and beacon search practice
