Make-up Field Trip for Tacoma Branch Basic Snowshoe Course. Originally planned for Paradise, but location was scrapped due to weather/avy conditions. Alternate destination was the White River Trail along SR 410. 6 students and 3 leaders. Successful trip, perfect weather, no issues.
Wonderful trip with lots of wildlife - more eagles than we could count, sea lions and a small flock of swans. Great time of year for this trip.
It was a very rainy day. Lessons took place in the morning but most students went home after lunch due to the weather.
Students were grouped 2-3 students per instructor and had morning and afternoon classes.
Successful trip with a great group of Mountaineers.
Fine beginner snowshoe with easy access.
A great winter trip through two beautiful gorges.
The first time we skied ungroomed trails at Echo Ridge. Luckily everybody brought suitable skis A 2 days ski instead at Echo Ridge area.
On last Saturday, a group of 7 from across all 5 kayaking branches, paddled and sailed around Marrowstone and Indian Islands. We had winds, sometimes strong, which were at times fun and challenging.
A great winter workout with vistas of the Kautz Creek Canyon and Van Trump Park.
Successful tour. weather and snow conditions more favorable than forecast.
Started out with rain in the parking lot and ended with rain as well, kept most of the other visitors at bay. Hike was wonderful with multiple forest species. Great meeting new hiking friends.
Nice easy hike, gentle elevation gain. Includes a waterfall and on a clear day a view
Fun winter route close to Seattle with a short approach. Only attempt in stable snow conditions.
A winter ascent and ski descent of Mt. Rainier via the Gibraltar Ledges and Ingraham Direct.
Steady, rocky grade with hardpacked snow starting about 2/3 of the way up. Lovely views from several spots along the way.
