Wet weather scotches summit, limits views, but wildflowers abound
Carbon River Road was a really gorgeous hike despite the rain.
Ascended Foss Peak via Unicorn Creek in continuous fog and intermittent rain and snow.
Ethereal alpine flowers glowed intensely in spite of (or possibly because of?) the challenging summit conditions: drifting fog/clouds, wet snow, and cold winds.
This was an unsuccessful but educational attempt of Barrier Peak, which was an alternate to Mt. Ruth due to an unfavorable weather forecast.
We switched the location from Meany Crest in hopes of being drier.
This was a fun route with plenty of teaching opportunities that ranged from route finding, snow travel, hazard management. I’d do it again.
Conditioning hike with rolling hills and a view of Mt. Hood.
We walked Promontory Point and through several of the pond areas looking and listening for resident and migratory birds. The bird activity today was slower than it was two weeks ago. The participants were a pleasure to be with.
Trip was 5/17/19 . A less than ideal weather did not prevent us from safely reaching the summit. Good learning for students on challenging late spring conditions.
A fun evening jaunt with an early rain shower but otherwise dry and pleasant conditions.

A little rain along the way meant we had the balcony to ourselves. Thankfully the rain stopped in time for dinner.
Successful early-season climb of SEWS with ten climbers. Good snow cover on approach. Climbing route is in.
Long day to reach a summit with some good views.
Successful summit via this early season route.
