Gorgeous views of pristine North Fork Soleduc valley and Mount Olympus beckoning beyond on this 9 mile and 5000’ elevation gain trip.
While this destination was our second choice, changed from Castle Bump in the Tatoosh due to avalanche conditions, we had a fabulous time at this Plan B destination.
A walk up road 6830. The ridge was out of reach.
Beautiful sunny day with 12” of fresh, powdery snow to play in
Turned around at bottom of Zipper because of 40 CM of loose unconsolidated new snow and late start.
Objective was Zipper. 18" fairly new snow and 0900 Longmire gate opening. We elected to not attempt the climb after snowshoeing to near the base of the Zipper climb, due to time available and the unconsolidated snow to the base of the climb.
A trip on the crest of Wenatchee Crest. Stepping off the road track, that was packed boot solid.
Great option for a snowy day with clouds, hence no views. Beautiful forest.
Beautiful day. Great views. First group on the trail. Had Granite Lakes all to ourselves. Littlesnow st the beginning of the TH. Snow progressed. Postholed towards the end.
Pleasant short snowshoe hike to Humpback Creek from the Annette Lake trailhead.
A lovely, dry day with glimpses of blue sky. We skied on freshly groomed trails.
Icy road. Nice powdery snow. Mostly decent weather. Pleasant woods walk with territorial views.
Our group of seasoned Mountaineers enjoyed a casual hike to Poo Poo Point with better weather than expected (just some occasional light rain and snow). There was a thin layer of snow on the trail for the upper 2/3 of the hike, but everyone had traction devices and trekking poles and we had no issues.
A 5-Peak hike of Tiger (East, Middle, 1, 2, and 3) on snow-covered trails and dirt roads. Trip was 18+ miles and took around 10.5 hours at a moderate pace.
We met at Cowan Park and walked the trail through the ravine as far as the small waterfall. A bright, sunny day despite the threat of snow and rain. Great for photography.
