Although posted as a winter scramble, this could easily be done as an Intermediate snowshoe. Lovely even with very few views.
Due to low snow conditions at Snoqualmie pass, we went to Crystal instead. Snow and weather condions proved unexpectedly enjoyable.
Surprisingly great snow conditions and even sunny skies at the top of Amabilis.
Great views with a variety of snow conditions throughout the day (from cold and powdery, to warm and wet). A surprisingly good day for this ~9 mile, ~4400’ gain trip.
Great snow and weather conditions in Mt Rainier NP
Not-So-Sasse Peak was the star of the day. Surprisingly nice day up high.
A straightforward but beautiful snowshoe from the base of the Silver Fir ski lift through the around surrounding Nordic Pass to the lakes that lie above.
Beautiful day, beautiful views!
Christmas Eve scramble on a beautiful clear day. Gaining the ridge right off the old trail without dropping to the lake was challenging due to not enough snow. Trip rating 4 due to the post-holing nightmare on the ridge.
Great trip, although weather and avy conditions forced a turnaround. Approximately, 3 feet of new snow and avy signs all around made for slow going and alternative routes.
Good hike in bad weather but we lucked out with no rain. It had more gain than the website says, 1120 to be exact. We ended up doing more miles as well.
Canceled due to land slide and road closure 2 miles before the Middle Fork Campground.
Soggy but successful hike on the shortest day of the year.
