Muddy and an adventure in puddle hopping. Still a wonderous classic in Seattle's backyard that is reminiscent of Jurassic Park.
A fun late winter hike with Olympia CHS students on a spring day in May!
Pleasant evening hike to Debbie's View for dinner.
We hiked to the top of Umtanum Ridge from the Yakima River trailhead for Umtanum Canyon by way of the Vista Trail. Once on the road along the spine of the ridge we hiked west to Wenas Point and east to Umtanum Point. Flowers were out, meadowlarks were singing and the landscape and views gorgeous. We encountered just a handful of other parties.
Beautiful cool spring weather and good company makes for a happy day
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.
