A great winter workout when difficult road conditions make other venues a challenge. Although really a hike, listed as a scramble for vetting future Winter Scramblers (and their gear) on steep terrain.
A stunning winter day with perfect snow conditions.
A great conditioner, yet difficult snow and road conditions resulted in our turning around at 4000’. The 5050 trail sign post (no sign present) was obscured by a leaning tree making it easy to miss.
It was fun doing this as a loop. Probably takes a little longer, but certainly more interesting.
A winter exploration of a seldom-visited South Puget Sound inlet.
We paddled from Luhr Beach to Johnson Pt and back. A cold day but the excellent visibility gave us amazing views of both the Olympics and the Cascades.
A fun paddle in moderate conditions with a fine lunch in Gig Harbor.
We walked The Arboretum , Interlaken Park , Volunteer Park , and Louisa Boren Park . The views of the Cascades , Union Bay , Lake Washington , downtown Seattle , Space Needle and Queen Ann were enjoyable. The early Seattle history is evident in the neighborhoods we walked . We also went to the top of the Water Tower and enjoyed the views.
A cold-weather bikepack loop that followed the flowing singletrack trail of the Olympic Adventure Route to Joyce-Piedmont Road, then to Salt Creek Recreation Area. Following an overnight camp, a return to the trailhead via the singletrack of the Bunker Ridge Trail and scenic rural roads.
We ascended beaten trails and abandoned roads up onto the road switchbacking up Olallie Mountain before having lunch and turning back.
Good weather and a good group to snowshoe to Kendall Peak Lakes with.
A great introduction/re-introduction to winter scrambling for everyone with just the right amount of challenge
Great day out in excellent early season conditions to explore the Kendall Trees/Knob/Stump area.
Found a safe place to snowshoe on an extreme weather day. It was hard work breaking trail, the group were good sports and we had fun in a winter wonderland.
Great educational experience.
The snow conditions are great currently. Groomed and tracked.
Trip was organized well, all members present, we shared good conversation and camaraderie.
its a very nice experience!! Everything went well.
An enjoyable powder day in the Crystal backcountry.
