I’m not sure why we had paddled so slowly…maybe it was the later than usual launch or we just wanted to prolong such an unexpectedly warm and pleasant March day to have a relaxing paddle! Photo credit: Laura Predmore
A beautiful sun-basking spring day with sweeping vistas to points NW and South. A great workout at just under 5000’ gain and ~10 miles total distance.
Lovely time had by all on this not-so-loveliest of days. Great walk along the shores of Lake Washington culminating in tasty Dim Sum at Jade Garden.
An after-hours conditioning hike in the snow. Very pleasant trip.
Combination photography and naturalist walk at the refuge. It was a bit chilly when we arrived, so layering was the way to go. I was also glad to have a pair of hand warmers in my jacket pockets.
Trail was closed about 1.5 miles in due to avalanche, good day all around anyway.
Beautiful day great conditions good time all around, I would come back again!
Beautiful day with blue bird skies. Snow was in perfect condition. Groomed all the way to the summit. 10 miles back and forth, chose not to do the ungroomed section since it was pretty rough looking. Everyone did super!
No it's not a mirage, moderate water ice is a real thing in Washington. We found it.
A practically perfect winter paddling day complete with much missed sea stars!!!
Sunny day for a scramble conditioning hike.
A great group to travel with. The route on the ridge has no beaten path- we enjoyed making our trail, and venturing through varied forest, with frequent,broad views of the surrounding snow covered ridges.

We summitted Windy Knob and Tronsen Head (east of Diamond Head) in crystal clear weather and fine snow conditions.
Despite rainy/sleet/snow falling, a group of 5 new Alpine Scramble students, met at exit 20, with 2 leaders, to set off up Tiger Mountain #3 in brand new boots and bright outfits for an evening conditioner.
An exceptionally beautiful trip into alpine terrain above Paradise.
