A solid winter scramble that belies its mundane name.
Nice loop trip for fit snowshoers, though no views of Rainier today. You are unlikely to encounter anyone else on most of this loop.
The weather gods complied with my request for Sun and minimal wind. Good people who were supporting me on my second leadership paddle. Thank you very much. I had a blast.
A mellow romp up a snowy ridge to a scenic top
Nice weather, moon too. Hard ice found while digging snow structures. Great group.
Night time is the right time to enjoy great views and solitude at Gold Creek Pond!
Fun alternate winter route from Eightmile Lake. North face, western gully.
Lucked out again and had blue bird skies for the trip. The snow was great and thanks to the snow shoe people for packing down the snow so nicely that it was an easy go. Even on the trail to the Ice Caves. Not much longer for the snow though.
Blue bird day - Great 360' views. 8.5 hours round trip. Wet and heavy snow - with some icy patches in the lower elevations.
Fantastic Bluebird Day. Beautiful views of the Wild Sky Wilderness.
Some snow around the base, rock was nice dry and warm.
Beautiful day. We went from Annette lake Th and veered off the trail about 200 yards past the last switchback. Ascent was marked with deep trail breaking in snowshoes but the route was relatively easy -
Great weather. Terrific route. So-so ice.
A beautiful day to photograph the Ballard Farmer's Market and old buildings along historic Ballard Avenue.
