Missed the trail to West Defiance. So we went up to Putrid Pete's Peak, stopped short of the scramble since group were not scramblers and did not feel comfortable. PPP was shrouded in clouds so I was unsure about continuing as well, due to route finding. The hike up to the rock field was very steep and strenuous.

Trail run from Marymoor Park, up through Westside Park and the Bridle Crest trail to Bridle Trails Park, one lap around Bridle Trails Park, and then back down to Marymoor.

Trail in good condition, some snow on upper parts and one small stream crossing. Few mosquitoes. Take bug spray and sunscreen. 8:30 meet at parking lot and was 3/4 full, campgrounds full on holiday weekend. Some wild flowers. They open the Sunrise road gate today, someone reported the parking lot at Sunrise filled up fast, rangers advising most upper trails closed.

Fine hike on a good trail. We kept fairly cool in the woods during a heat wave.

Trail was in good condition without snow on the ground. Bear grass to be seen at the lake. Lots of bugs once you get to the lake.
Beautiful night with friends. We shared a wonderful unexpected treat at the lake brought by a thoughtful fellow hiker.

Westside Road Route. Lots of blowdowns and very steep climbing (1500' in 1 mile).

Don't wear trailrunners if you don't want to get wet feet!

We met up at the Duck Pond and did a 5 1/2 mile loop hike.
Wonderful Hike with wonderful people.

Fairly straight forward climb with beautiful views. Having excellent scramble skills seems more important than technical rock skills for this one.

I can not lie, it was a very hot day but luckily mostly under good canopy. We took our time and kept ourselves hydrated. Good trail conditions with for hikers, runners and mountain bikers. The first 1.7 miles is straight up but then begins rolling on to the lakes. Everyone with good spirits and all were successful!

Our group was prepared for the forecasted heat with plenty of water. We took regular rest stops to rehydrate and also took advantage of copious shady areas. Back to the parking lot around 1pm.

An intrepid group of 11-12 year old kids backpacked to O'Neil Creek camp (8 miles one way), day hiked to the Enchanted Valley Chalet (14 miles round trip) and then back to the trailhead on day 3. It was during the record breaking 100F weather, but the glacier-fed Quinault River kept us cool and fed refreshing river breezes.

We spent 3 days and 2 nights exploring the Navaho Pass area and surrounding peaks. Despite very hot temperatures and lots of bugs, we enjoyed delightful 360 degree views of the area and lots of beautiful wildflowers.

Warm weather trip with a fantastic group. Gale force gusts turned us around at the top of the Roman Wall.
