Light rain on the hike up to the lake but then the sun came out with plenty of blueberries and salmonberries to pick along the way. We ascended up the back side after going through a rock field and had a challenging but rewarding scramble up the T4 mountain which required the use of some route finding and the rope and our harnesses for safety. We summited around 3 PM and made it back to the trailhead with the last light of the day. 10/10 would definitely do it again.
A fun climb with a strong team!
Super fun climb of the Beckey Route of Liberty Bell as well as the North Face of Concord Tower.
Fantastic climb with a great all-women team. Route in perfect condition!
Solitude, breathtaking flowers, meandering meadows, glacial vistas, and herds of wildlife, all within a mile of the crowdzilla at the Comet Falls trailhead. A great place to go during a pandemic, with a spacious/sparsely filled parking lot to boot, on this ~7 mile, ~4300’ gain, S4/T5 scramble.
Perfect day for a scramble of Denman, Lane, and Plummer Peaks. We skipped Pinnacle due to time and another party traveling in an unsafe manner.
This was a scramble of the main peak of Mt. Watson. It is a nice alpine scramble with both rock and snow skills required.
Pleasant evening hike on an uncrowded trail
Great hike but with cool weather to match.
Beautiful day to hike this nice loop with views of Rainier, Crystal Mountain, Mount Adams, and lots of other nearby peaks. Super convenient to get to and park using the Crystal Mountain ski area anemities such as parking lot and bathrooms.
Beautiful round trip with rock scrambling, bushwhacking, scree down climbing, boulder hopping, back country navigating and ridge walking
Beautiful meadows with glorious views of the Summerland area, Little Tahoma and Mountain Rainier.
