Beautiful but damp single-night student backpack in the Olympics.
Baker Lake East Bank trail north to south trailheads open and cleared of fallen trees.
Relaxed early season backpack with gentle elevation gain and beautiful wildflowers.
Stunning views! Probably better to do early season when brush is snow covered.
Cold, foggy June scramble, dusting of fresh snow.
Tacoma Mountaineers Basic Alpine climb of Unicorn Peak and a spur of the moment West Unicorn Peak
Beautiful evening for a hike through the woods. We watched paragliders take to the air as we ate dinner.
We hiked to the summit of Mount Baldy with great views of Lakes and Peaks . There was snow on the upper ridge , and presented no route difficulty. Wildflowers were beautiful .
Fresh snow and varied weather conditions made for an interesting day day out on Silver Star via the Silver Star Creek route.
Excellent snow coverage starts a bit before the summer trail begins. Ski descent of Inter Glacier was very good although the snow was a bit wet and sticky.
Pleasant, peaceful hike on a beautiful day to this seldom visited trail.
Successful early season overnight climb
Route is still in good shape, though a moat will open up at the last saddle in the next few days. It was still bridged when we crossed but we could see it thinning and a place where it looked like someone had punched through. We turned around at the base of the summit block in a whiteout with snow falling and winds gusting to 25+
Great climb with some of everything - class 3 and 4 scrambling; steep roped snow travel; short rock climb. Do this in 3 days (not 2 - unless you really, really want a long day)!
Fun day climbing Lexington N Face & Concord S Face!
