Day Hiking
Successful
A successful winter ascent of Mount Hood, up via the Pearly Gates and down the Old Chute.
Great trip around Commonwealth Basin. We didn’t go up to Red Pass due to avalanche danger, but it was still a great trip.
A loop trip to Lizard Lake, Lily Lake and the high point in the Chuckanuts.
West Granite scramble and (almost) Pratt proved to be a great safe plan B for a day with winter weather and considerable avalanche danger advisories.
Moonlit views of First Top from Pt 4795 on a very strenuous loop of ~5800’ gain and ~11 miles.
Delightful snowshoe trip through a magical land of deep snow. Too bad the clouds obscured any views.
A successful, snowy trip, with every one who ended participating, enjoying the time.
Christmas Eve Scramble of Teebone Ridge.
Too much snow the previous week thwarted our attempt at the summit.
A shake-out, season-opener, out-and-back nordic ski trip on flat, groomed terrain.
Gorgeous snowshoe trek to Glacier Vista at Mt. Rainier!
A longer and harder scramble than we were expecting. Ran out of time before reaching the summit.
Narada Falls to Reflection Lakes via Lower Lakes Trail with 3 to 5 feet of new snow involving lots of breaking trail.
A wallow in massive amounts of unconsolidated new snow
Successful, fun trip! We had a small group and enjoyed a leisurely walk through Point Defiance.
