Day Hiking
Successful
Cold, crowded, and windy, but a direct route above the cleaver. Just one ladder crossing.
Spooky in heavy cloud/fog until early afternoon with slick tread. Weather started to break and it dried out enough to make the summit.
This out and back hike starts at Mowich Lake, passes by Eunice Lake, and ends at the Tolmie Peak Lookout. In between there is a fabulous view at Ipsut Pass and a couple of significant climbs.
Hiked in on evening of 7/11 and camped at Happy Four camp. There were no free slurpees. Hiked to Glacier Meadows on 7/12. Started for the summit at 2:30am and topped out at 10:30. Got back to camp around 4pm, broke camp and moved down to Lewis Meadow to shorten the long hike back to the TH. 7/14 hiked out and real food in Forks.
The approach route and climbers trail to the West Ridge were in great shape. There was no snow to be concerned with, and the trails were in good condition. No bugs.
Beautiful evening to enjoy dinner with a view from the balcony.
beautiful day, not too hot or wet, beautiful scenery.
great day, beautiful weather, lots of flowers, super group of hikers!
An amazing journey through the North Cascades with two alpine summits, glacier travel, class 4 climbing, and epic views.
An incredible traverse through the Alpine Lake Wilderness filled with mountain summits, alpine lakes, and waterfalls.
Dome Peak and almost...Sinister over a 3 1/4 days.
Single day climb of Concord, Liberty Bell and Lexington on a busy July weekend.
A tough climb up the Kautz Ice chute with a bonus summit at the third day.
A classic pac nw alpine with all the things: snow, talus, chossy rock and long exposed ridges. Definitely worth doing.
Trail in good condition, brushy in spots. Take lots of water or a filter. No problems at parking lot, lots of cars. Saw a fair amount of backpackers.
Amazing and beautiful views of whole north cascade on this climb. You will get everything from approach , bushwhacking , route finding , glacier and rock.
