A backpack trip starting with a hike over Cascade Pass, a 1.5 mile side-trip to Doubtful Lake, then descending into Pelton Basin to spend 2 nights at Basin Creek Camp. We visited Horseshoe Basin on Day 2.

A fun and pretty straight forward day climb

Great trip with sometimes challenging conditions. 3' swell allowed entry into most of the caves and arches, and afternoon north wind gave a nice push back to the launch.

An enjoyable slower-paced three day scramble of Big Chiwaukum

Suffer fest with miles of up and down on endless glacial scree. If you really want to take home the Bacon, do this in a three day, or perhaps from a different approach.

McLoughlin is a fun, relatively easy scramble with a satisfying summit, and is definitely worth the long drive. If you go, take a couple of extra days to bag some of the other local peaks in southern Oregon and maybe northern CA.

Solitude and beautiful basins in the NW corner of Mt Rainier Park, along with an all-woman party, made for a successful scramble of Second Mother.

The views from the summit are amazing, but it takes a lot of brush-whacking to get there. This is a mountain that is easier to climb in the winter, when the snow covers the brush, but winter climbs usually terminate at the false summit, where the views are still wonderful, but not as fantastic as at the summit.

A strenuous 2-day carryover with a 3-day worth of ballast.

A fantastic day for a really scenic hike. Lots of bangs for the buck including two alpine lakes, an old fire lookout with fantastic views of Mount Rainier, wildflowers and even a small black bear sighting!

July flowers were blooming. Windy and a bit cold at the look out

Rarely done Vesper wolf and sperry traverse. Great snow conditions and an awesome rock scramble with exposure on Wolf peak. Route finding always a puzzle on Sperry.
