A friend and I hiked this trail today. If you are planning to lead the trip anytime soon, read below and see pictures.
Canceled due to COVID-19 Pandemic
It doesn't get much better than this! Grandmother Earth smiled upon us.
Another pretty tough 16-hour day with a mixture of some fun, and some gnarly moments.
A long strenuous day on the other side of Chair Peak
Beautiful winter day with sunshine and a nice packed path through plenty of snow.
A beach hike starting at Ruby Beach and going south for about 3 miles from there. We also visited Big Cedar and the Tree of Life on the way home.
Hike through a local forest to a view.
A great trip to a less visited peak at Mt. Rainier.
We parked on the road about 200 ft west of gate that is on the way to the trailhead. there were a dozen cars there when we got back. 2 of our party's cars had the door lock damaged by someone trying to break into the cars. Lock replacement needed for both cars. What a pain. The hike was fun. Not many people on this trail.
Another rarely done scramble that turned out better than expected.
Traversed from Tunnel Creek Road to Mill Creek (Stevens Pass Nordic Center).
Great trip but disappointing that avy conditioned forced a turnaround. Nice weather for climb day and nice group of people.
Perfect conditions and with a strong team finished with time to spare
road paved and plowed all the way to a few feet from cayuse horse camp. excellent route conditions too.
