A beautiful hike full of mosses and lichens to see and the sounds of waterfalls and the rushing river to hear. Roads in good shape getting to the trailhead.
A nice breezy day of buoy racing. I'm sure we got first in our division.
Trail has mostly been cleared of fallen trees, with just one remaining that can easily be climbed over. It's still quite muddy.
Beautiful evening for a dinner party by the falls.
Spring storm slog and overnight
Early start on 4/14 to catch a weather window. Crusty snow/ice up to the top.
Wet, wonderful 3-day backpack into the valley. Not too many humans. No bears.
A wonderful rainy hike to all three Wallace Falls.
Easy, flat hike to 2 lovely falls.
No snow remains on trail - very well maintained trail system. Be sure to have map, as junctions can be confusing.
Spring is still at an early stage on the north side of Umtanum Ridge.
A great close to home conditioning hike for Kitsap Basic and Intermediate Mountaineering students and graduates, though all are welcome.
If you don't mind sitting in after-work traffic on i-90 and love a *VERY* well-maintained trail, this hike is for you! Bonus points if you do it in the rain, you won't see a soul!
Successful early spring climb of Eldorado via Inspiration Glacier
Successful summit with favorable conditions (aside from some post holing).
Majestic winter views of Willis Wall on Mount Rainier. A fitting reward after some classic NW rainforest cross country travel on this ~3700’/9 mile trip.
