Really challenging conditions but still a successful summit and snow scramble credit for 3 students
A rollicking great downwind paddle with 10-20kt from the southwest and a good current push. Great wind wave surfing for most of the trip and fun rolling and play in conditions at the end.
12 mile round trip along the Middle Fork of he Snoqualmie River. 5 hikers in total, very rainy day, lots of mud and one moderate level tributary crossing on a rainy day.
The crew was attentive and we covered a lot of information. They demonstrated their knowledge especially in the setting up the boat, striking the boat and handling the mock tacking. A Great group of people. We had lots of fun.
Debbie's View to West Peak to Bullitt Firepace, the route less traveled
Awesome day caring for and exploring this beautiful prairie!
Perfect weather for an evening hike and dinner at the Bullitt fireplace.
Due to one of the ferry's service outage, we move the trip to Hood Canal. Despite the last minute change, we had a enjoyable time in a pretty area.
A really enjoyable spring paddle on a changeable pleasant day with really good company for the maiden voyage of Bill's new boat!
Thanks to zesty weather we had prime viewing conditions for polar bears having a water fight inside a cloud (albeit a bit warm for the bears ;). A great wet workout with clouds limiting views to the immediately adjacent ridges and valleys.
The hike out is an easy out and back when navigating correctly , otherwise additional miles and elevation can easily be added.
Another surprisingly nice day on the trail in spite of a stormy weather forecast!
Ferry problems changed this to a Vendovi Exploration & Jack Island circumnavigation that had a relaxed exploratory pace & had a wildflower & vista highlight.
Excellent, experienced group. Snow conditions as expected due to previous WTA reports. And today, unlike yesterday, no break ins at trailhead parking.
Seven of us enjoyed a spring day on the Rattlesnake Ledge trail with moments of sun and rain. All but one member decided to carry on to the Middle and Upper viewpoints and then we had lunch at the First Ledge viewpoint.
We saw 3 patches of broken window glass at Little Si Trail Head, be sure not to leave anything visible in your car. We did not experience any problems.
High wind predictions for the Manastash Ridge area led us to a Plan B, a hybrid trip with ~500 ft of travel on the Rattlesnake Dance trail, followed by a mellow walk along Umtanum Creek.
A successful field trip in a great location.
Our trip to Bridle trails to see early Spring vascular plants was a great success. The weather was fantastic and all of the students were steadily practicing their use of the recommended apps and generally have a good time!
