Fantastic views all around but unexpectedly high snow levels and warming temperatures stopped us short of planned goal
Approached via Winter route returned via Summer route. Warm day with soft snow, but most of the meadow either melted out or low snow
The Hertz Trail is an easy trail with views of Lake Whatcom and Waterfalls.
Turn around at about 5100' level due to hard snow and no crampons.
Trip cancelled due to closure of Deception Falls facilities for 2019
Hiked East to West. A few minor patches of snow on the trail and some mud, but the trail was in pretty good shape.
We began from the gravel parking lot, summited Rock Candy Mountain, and rather than coming right back down and doing an out-and-back hike, we took the Army Road to the Army Road Tie Trail to the Rock Candy Mountain Trail to loop back to the parking lot.
A fun early-season alpine climb near Washington Pass.
A great day for a paddle. Everyone had a great day.
Solid crew however the weather just wasn't cooperating.
Beautiful/strenuous loop of Emerald Ridge by way of the tumultuous stream bed/abandoned trail of Tahoma Creek.
Three day trip in the North west area of Olympic National Park. From the Sol Duc TH to attempt Boulder Peak, with base camp at Boulder Creek Camp Ground.
