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!

A pleasant evening scramble on a very hot bluebird late spring day. Great views, great group!
Beautiful Evening for a hike. Still lots of snow on trail.
Three peaks loop - west, central and rarely visited southeast peak with a side trip to Debbie's View along a mostly forested route.
Fantastic, interesting, very scenic loop hike today on the north side of Mt. St. Helens!
Great beginner backpack trip along the rushing Greenwater River.
It was a beautiful and sunny day. Temperatures were in the 80s. When we arrived at the lake, there was only one or two other hikers present on the lunch rock. Everyone seemed to enjoy the hike.
A lovely close-in hike with way less people than nearby Mailbox. 2 of us did not change our boots for the stream crossings, 1 of us put on his water shoes.
The rumors of our death by brush are greatly exaggerated.
