Our Olympia Explorers group successfully completed Mailbox - Up the Old Trail and Down the Old Trail
Blue skies overhead as we traveled through foggy mists, with sun breaks. 4" of new snow over hard pack, the beaten trail was very beaten, though we enjoyed areas of exploring off trail.

Enjoyed a beautiful December day kayaking around Chuckanut Bay and Wildcat cove to see amazing Sandstone rock formations. I had heard of this place for a while, but never been to it - it is worth visiting via kayak.
Gorgeous views of the SW aspect of Mount Rainier, as well as a bit of spice at the Pyramid Creek crossing. A beautiful day on this ~13 mile/~3700’ gain Winter Scramble.
Gorgeous weather, perfect snow, type I fun camping trip
Classic winter overnight experience.

Thanksgiving day Peak bagging - No views - but beautiful trip
Beautiful weather day - Fresh snow and great winter conditions to the Summit of Mount Ararat
A great outing requiring intermediate snowshoeing skills along with some route navigation and communications around avalanche concerns and observations.
Bluebird weather but challenging snow conditions. Ultimately we met our objective but ran out of time to traverse to Granite Mountain
