Day Hiking
Successful
Trip originally scheduled for Sheep Lake (Chinook Pass) but changed due to snow.4
Successful trip to Hope Island to explore the minus 2.4 foot tide. Lots of low tide marine life. Mild conditions. Overcast to start, turned to sun. Some currents but to be expected.
This trip was mostly a pleasant trail hike, with about 400 to 500 feet of rock scrambling at the end. Views were excellent.
Unexpected adventures added to this fabulous day on our favorite volcano!
perfect weather and conditions. Wonderful bunch of paddlers too!
An excellent first alpine rock climb for basic SIG students.
Picturesque views and wildflowers on this very warm evening hike.
two crevasse to speak of on route. one was a one foot step over. the other was wider(maybe 3') and was a little awkward going up. on the way down, one was able to step over, the rest of us did an easy jump. snow was a little soft as it did not freeze the previous night, but was not as slushy as i worried it could have been. perfect weather. a moderate pace throughout, gave us a pleasant walk up to the top.
Great single day, early season climb of Mount Daniel via the Lynch Glacier. Slept at the TH the night before to get a 5 am start. Expect a long, but fun-filled day!
Low overnight temperatures and clear skies made for perfect crampon snow from high camp (6400') up to the pyramid but also made for mixed rock and hard snow/ice conditions on the pyramid itself.
A scramble with views of Sloan, Glacier, Pugh and more.
Don't let the rough road discourage you from this gem of a hike. Beauty abounds with gorgeous views of Mt. Rainier and her sisters near the top.
