Personal trip to the Tooth with 2 mountaineers members via Snow Lake Trail
Surprised mostly a sunny and warm day, but the snow was too soft to make it to the top. Post-holing to knees or deeper as we went higher.
Istanbul - a magical city worth at least 3 days, and tour with a guide to plumb the depths of culture, history and food in the city! Selcuk, Ephesus, Aphrodisias - stunning repositories of history from the bronze age through Roman times. Walking the Carian Way - some gorgeous views from the ridgetops, lots of beaches and sunsets over the sea, fantastic home-prepared food, a few great historic sites; but trails are very rocky and overrun with prickly brush, and not extraordinarily rewarding for the hiking itself. You definitely need transport and preferably a guide to find the spots that are worth your while.
a delightful paddle in a weather window...a scenic moody vista start to a finish with sunshine & breeze that pushed us back to our launch. We were blessed to see birdlife (loons, eagles, gulls & guillemots) & saline (porpoise, seals & sealion).
Preparation for 2022 trail maintenance on Church Creek Trail #871. This was both an access road clearing trip to the Eastern (Skokomish) trailhead and a scouting trip on the Church Creek Trail to document trail problems for future trail maintenance days.
Successful hike to just beyond Big Hump on the Duckabush River Trail. We were hiking in a light drizzle most of the day, but had a good trip.
We had a great hike to Greider Lakes on May 28, 2022. While rain was in the forecast, we had a mostly overcast day with a few sunbreaks and sprinkles.
On May 26, 2022, 8 of us found the route snow-free, including the trail over to the view point that is .6 miles from the summit. The predicted rain held off, and we got The View.
Good option for a Spring visit to the Teanaway region when the snowpack makes other Teanaway destinations inaccessible.
This was one of best trips I have been on so far. We had a wonderful crew and crew leader, everyone worked together and we accomplished more than I thought was possible.
Warm evening for a hike in the woods. The forest is beautiful right now.
9 scramblers had a good day on Silver King with some decent views under the clouds. Snow conditions were less than ideal yet again during this strange spring of 2022.
A wonderful and peaceful weekend on beautiful Blake Island for a fun shake down trip! Photo taken on BC CAN trip
Caught perfect weather for a great ski mountaineering trip to Mount Shuksan.
Good weather, good snow, and great views.
9 hours car to car. Lots of loose and falling rock. The pocket on the last pitch is getting larger. Purple Tricam #2 is barely big enough if you shove it all the way to the back of the pocket.
A nice sail in light winds with a fine crew.
Beautiful trail, weaving through moss-covered forested areas along the lake-side, with stunning views of Baker reflecting on the lake peaking out from time to time. However, all camps along the trail were VERY busy!
