3-day climb of W McMillan Spire and The Roost
We hiked to the summit of Green Mountain with great views of Glacier Peak and North Cascades Peaks. The wildflowers were beautiful. The trail was in excellent condition .
We used a car shuttle to run from Frying Pan Creek to Box Canyon on an absolutely beautiful day.
Sheep Lake - Sourdough Gap - Crystal Lakes Car Shuttle - This trip has everything you want in a hike; stunning views, serene lakes and beautiful wildflowers.
The backpack was thoughtfully planned and well led by the leader who chose an ideal place to camp for two nights and picked three gorgeous places for day hikes. When I had breathing problems as we approached the camp, he stayed with me and showed me great consideration until I seemed OK. He was also an excellent driver, picking a scenic route and comfortable rest stops on the way.

Beautiful ridge hike on the Skyline Divide Trail and Chowder Ridge with the last few hundred feet being quite chossy.
Wonderful climb of the Mile High Club (7 pitch bolted 5.10a)
Beta for 3 Intermediate Climbs: Fish & Whistle, True Grit, and Ragged Edge!
Pleasant mid-week hike to beautiful Upper Granite Lake via the Granite Creek trail.
A really long, beautiful scramble on a really big mountain.
All agreed that the flowers in Berkeley Park were the best they'd ever seen there.
A fun, strenuous, close-in hike that the rest of the party, even though experienced local hikers, had never done before. So still often unknown. A nice alternative to Si and Mailbox. Plenty of berries now.
Long day, marginal stream/snow bridge crossings, upper trail horrible condition, fantastic scenery, high exposure, fun had by all.
We hiked to the summit with great views of Glacier Peak and other North Cascades Peaks. We enjoyed the wildflowers.
A pleasant overnight to Berkeley Park where the flowers were at peak bloom. We entered and exited via the Lake Eleanor "back door" trailhead, and traversed the full length of Grand Park twice.
This is a spectacular hike very deserving of its inclusion on Washington's 100 classic hikes.
Successful straightforward trip, no concerns (other than lack of snow heading up to Meany Crest)
This was a fun climb of a very scenic mountain that I've been admiring from afar for some time now. Was good to finally get up there!
