Redirected to Upper Lena Lake (originally to Point 5803 SW of ‘The Brothers’, but ridge starting at 2100’ near Lena Creek was too cliffy and brushy to afford reasonable progress).
A scramble to a less frequently visited Teanaway peak in November conditions.
Rainy day but the views are probably beautiful if you could see anything through the fog and mist!
Successful navigation and summit of Mount Kent and then a side trip to McClellan Butte.
Any whale sighting is a welcome treat and this was the first time that I have seen a humpback in the Puget Sound which made this trip a special one. Photo credit: Terence Soh
Join the Tacoma singles Activities committee sponsored hike to Teneriffe Falls in North Bend area.
Change of location from Governor/Barrier to Buell/Barrier. Only was able to complete Buell due to poor weather conditions. Still a fun day of bushwhacking
A dramatic traverse of Hurricane Hill (Little River to Elwha River), with howling winds just scant hours before the arrival of the first winter snows.
Here's some picture to complement Gabriella's excellent report. First, the Middle Summit of Red Mountain from the South Summit.
Beautiful late fall day and good company makes for a fun scramble
Overnight push, 18 hours on the wall.
While I enjoy the company of fellow paddlers this trip reminded me of the almost forgotten joy of solo paddling when my time is my own to explore and experience as much as I like. Especially when there is so much to see and enjoy!
Although posted under Zorro Pt, we never summit-ted Zorro. Many miles, but easy scramble when dry. Great 360 views of lots of peaks from the summit.
Quick out and back trip with the clockwise loop. Trail mostly a boot path/climbers trail after you cross the Johnson Medra Trail junction. Clear views and round trip of 5hrs 20 minutes for 12.1 miles and 4.9k feet of cumulative elevation gain
This is a strenuous hike to a dramatic spot where the trail is carved out of interesting, steeply sloped rock, the "katwalk." It's listed as 11 miles, but our GPS's recorded over 12 miles. The trail is the PCT route, so it is well graded and in good condition most of the time.
Solid ice and summer weather on Obs rock
