The Lakes/Skyline/Narada Falls loop hike reminded us that there is a good reason why this area is called Paradise. It was the most scenic hike I've done this year - stunning views, peak flower displays, beautiful lakes, impressive waterfalls - this hike had it all.

Great day out on a day with questionable weather :-) 4 out of 5 overall stars based upon the aggregate quality of the route, approach, views, climbing, partner, and stoke. Well 5 stars for my partner ;-)

A fantastic outing to scramble Lee Peak in the Spray Park area, a Peak that is named on USGS topo maps and has a USGS Marker, but about zero prominence. Given available time, we were also able to incorporate Echo and Observation Rock along the way.

Everything went so smoothly and so well the entire week. It didn’t have much choice with great weather and a very kind, considerate and experienced crew that worked very well together. It seemed like a dream within a dream and I already am looking forward to next year!! Photo credit: Terry Jaret

An intense 3-day climb through beautiful valleys and meadows, and also involving a fair bit of bushwhacking, routefinding and scree scrambling. An all-round stellar climb.

Our party of 6 hiked up via upper Source Lake and followed the traditional route to Pineapple Pass. We skirted a potentially dangerous undercut snow remnant above the lake. There was a little moderate snow in Great Scott Basin. Ours was the first party on the route, surprisingly little traffic up there that day.

HOT evening scramble with amazing views

This was a good trip for a hot day, with wide (although hazy) views and still plenty of flowers. It was mostly on trail, but included some pleasant scrambling.
