Beginning at Seafarers Park in Anacortes, we crossed Guemes Channel, then around Casperson Point to Huckleberry Island where we had lunch. Due to physical limitations of one participant, we returned to Seafarers instead of going on to Saddlebag Island.
Launch from 10th Street Marina. Head south on the Snohomish River and north on Steamboat Slough. Return to launch via open water. A moderately long day paddling an interesting counter-clockwise loop in the Snohomish Estuary.
An incredibly gorgeous day for a scramble in the Teanaway Area.
Great weather, lots of wildlife, snow free
Great weather and group for a successful outing
Switched from original destination of Paradise Glacier due to party size, interest, and strength. Skis on at under 2.5 miles and found an on snow route from the campground that avoided the stream crossings and ant-line in the valley. Topped out about 1pm in front of the crowd. Skiing was great. Creamy snow down to the campground and slush to the transition point on the trail. Only a couple crevasses open. Many bizarre skintracks going back and forth across the entire glacier. Only saw one drone flying around.
Gorgeous day in the Teanaway! Plenty of sunshine but not too hot.
A successful and wonderful summit of Goat Island Mountain. Steep snow, easy bushwhacking, fun glissading.
Snow scramble to Lichtenberg. Standard NE ridge line. Lots of route finding below the lake gap. Good log crossing at TH sign. Road snowed in .3 miles in from Hwy 2
We beat the crowds for a great morning conditioner
Great dinner spot as we enjoyed a warm spring evening.
On a beautiful day with good snow conditions, we enjoyed magnificent views and solitude from Cabinet Peak.
Beautiful views from the top of the Tooth.
Fantastic day above the clouds! Originally planned to scramble up Muir Peak, but changed it to the more interesting and scenic side trip to Anvil Rock on the way down from Muir.
Successful Devil’s Peak/South Ridge adventure in complete whiteout conditions
A strenuous and beautiful traverse of ~19 miles and ~5000’ gain with snow that still makes this a scramble (instead of a hike). The only other parties we encountered were folks that had walked over from the visitor center.
