Excellent hike up to Nannie Ridge and Sheep Lake. We hiked to the junction with the Pacific Crest Trail, just above Sheep Lake. On the way down, we took the side trip up to the old lookout site on Nannie Peak. Terrific views!

The group decided to go farther up to the junction with the PCT, then south to trail 97 to loop back to the main trail which added another 2.1 miles and 800 ft. of elevation. It was well worth it for the wildflowers.
Happy to have taken this trip as a 3 day. Allowed us to really enjoy the area and take our time for this special area
Nice hike with two lakes. Unfortunately no views today, good weather though. Peaceful with not too many people on the trail.
great view of basin, Emmons Glacier no longer visible.
Beautiful weather resulted in great trail and scrambling conditions. The views at the top were one of the best in the north cascades for the amount of effort required to get there.
Crossed through some North Cascades high country, climbing peaks along the way.
Climb of the Easton in late July
Bailed from Cathedral Rock on Saturday, summitted on Sunday. Skipped Daniel.
An amazing outing on a blazing weekend.
Successful summit of Red Mountain; strong party, great weather.
I filmed my trip up Mount Storm King, make sure to watch the trip here: https://youtu.be/LFMY5As7hCc The distance of this hike is short, but don't let that fool you - this trail has a steep elevation gain and at every switchback, the altitude will weigh on you more and more. Not only that, there are ropes at the top. You should be physically fit to do this hike. It is well worth the journey with such an incredible view at the top.
Successful climb of Mount Challenger via the Eiley Wiley Ridge approach in 4 days.
great trip with no issues and good trail, snow, and rock conditions.
Grand tour of Grand Park and Berkeley Park, spending the night at Berkeley Park Camp. Perfect weather and good company. Some bugs around Lake Eleanor.
Ideal weather, and worthy scrambling, but when did this peak get so popular?
