Although drizzling and foggy, without any views, the route was beautiful with the verdant canopies and (slightly less than) moderate incline. Intermittent conversation with periods of solitude made for a perfect first hike in the Olympics.

Scramble to Lichtenberg via the NE ridge, dropping just below the summit traversing to the saddle on the SE ridge for our final approach.
Nice hike, really rough road, snow at lake, pack your ten essentials!
Foggy start to the first full day of summer, but views from second summit finally materialized.
A one-way trip from Granite Mountain along the ridge to Low Mountain and out Denny Creek Trail
This was an epic scramble with great summit views. A significant thunderstorm during the descent added "interest" to the trip.
Great workout, but minimal snow reduced the opportunities for practicing snow skills.
Planned trip for -3.1 low tide, hoping to see good tidal pools on Chuckanut Island. Unfortunately, turned around at 1.4 miles due to strong wind and high waves.
We shared the trail with about a million mosquitoes and finally had the summit to ourselves! Type 1 fun! 12.5 hours car to car, 1 mountain goat
We did the 9-mile loop. Trail is in good shape. Nice views of Puget Sound, Hood Canal, and Olympics.
This is a beautiful and much less-traveled route - definitely worth the bit of extra effort, in my opinion.
Turned around due to weather. Approach and approach gully in good shape
Excellent trip with a stong group. The nice weather was a benefit and a curse as the snow quality deteriorated for a summit push.
Traverse below peak more challenging and time consuming than expected. Learning lesson: should have checked personal GPS sooner to compare to topo.
A scramble of Second & Third Mother Mountains.
Photo Report! Approach on a little bit of trail, then mostly on snow. Moat was fine and gained easy access to the ridge. Used crampons up high. 8 am to 4 pm car to car, even after encountering 10 people from Mazamas already on the rock routes. Great trip on a mostly sunny day!
Climb changed from Mt Daniel to Colchuck last minute to doge weather and find something to climb. Glacier is hard and steep and holding up well. Small patch of snow still lingering prior to short scramble step.
Turned around on Forbidden Peak due to route congestion
