Fun day on the water, conditions were great, we launched from Allyn beach rather than the ramp.
Nice, scenic route with varied terrain; plenty of sweat but not technical; (not the same route as in the "100 peaks" guide.)
Fun basic rock climb in the beautiful Washington Pass area during wildfire season.
A fun late summer glacier climb in the middle of the wildfire season.
Great climb with lots of smoke. Quien Sabe is approaching late season conditions
Standard route to HiBox off the Rachel Lake Trail.
Overnight B3 backpack to Deep Lake
Beautiful peak with sustained and exposed scrambling. I am giving it only 4 stars because our views were few due to the smoke. Otherwise I am sure they would have been stunning.
Successful trip up the white ledges and down the ridge route.
Socked in with few views. Trail section near the trailhead we very slippery. Turned around early.
Quite a bit of smoke, but also lots of berries and good swimming.
This is the trip report by mentored lead Kai Li.
A one-day trip up to Eldorado
Enjoyable five-mile round trip hike, with a steady 1100 feet elevation gain over uneven terrain to lakeside camping. Possible as a day trip, yet overnight(s) offer more time to enjoy the beauty of Summit Lake.
