I paused at one point to slowly turn my boat 360 degrees to take in yet again that the Skagit River created one of the most beautiful gorges I’ve ever seen, let alone paddle in.
Successfully threading the weather window needle for a fun sunset scramble.
A great rainy day way to stretch your legs, as well as checkout the first part of the Lookout Dome - Storm King Traverse. After early season snow prevented access to our earlier alternate (Deer Park/Grand Ridge), this 18 mile/3,500’ trip provided a great workout with views of the Hughes Creek Drainage.
Hiked Goode Ridge trail instead due to Purple Pass trail being closed due to proximity to fires.
We were going to hike to Monte Cristo. We turned around due to a slippery log crossing. We hiked to the Ice Caves instead.
We attempted to hike into Monte Cristo. We turned around due to a slippery log crossing.
Fun quick trip to a quiet corner of the Enchantments. Good skills-building practice and good humor despite rain!
We turned around because of very slick wet rock above Pinnacle Lake.
Paddled 14.6 nm around Mercer Island in 6 hr 16 min with four rest stops.
A pleasant evening hike at a local state park.
Turned around at false summit, due to cold rain, wind, and fog.
A change of objective from Mt Watson/Anderson. An interesting weather day with a successfully summiting of Mt Howard.
Nice paddle with great company on what turned out to be a beautiful day! Photo: Jeff Evans
Plan B when Sahale wasn't possible due to weather/conditions. A lovely, fun ridge run between these 2 peaks.
The weather forecast was iffy, but the six of us made the 3 Hour drive and had a great scramble.
Fun scramble of two peaks in the beautiful Teanaways!
