We hiked the Thorp Creek trail to the summit . The views of the Cascade Crest Peaks were great . We enjoyed the wildflowers .
Two of us did a private Saturday hike with our dog to scout Wallace Lake including its north beach, Pebble Beach. Clouds kept the temperatures cooler and crowds were mostly headed for the Falls. We had the beach all to ourselves for a good ten minutes.
Successful hike to the summit of Skyscraper Mountain via Sunrise.
Successful summit of Eldorado Peak on June 30-July 1, 2025.
4 day float from Warm Springs to Heritage Landing.
A resplendent walk through the legendary Hoh Rain Forest turns into lush, breezy alpine meadows, and finally the iconic Blue Glacier of Mount Olympus. This was an amazing 4-day trip with a successful summit and high-stoke crew.
Hot but fun trip with a good group. Great views and summit all to ourselves.
Long hard day of scrambling, but worth it for the view of the Enchantments.
Pay attention to the new bolted rap route. Bring 70M rope
Great Naturalist hike to the beautiful Twin Falls in North Bend. Focus was on conifers and ferns, and of course, the waterfall.
Great teamwork and collaboration led to an efficient 15 hr c2c ascent of this classic route up Forbidden Peak.
Private two-night backpacking trip to Pelton Basin with a day hike to Sahale Arm and Doubtful Lake. A great itinerary to make a challenging hike more accessible for people who like to go a little slower.
Caught perfect weather for a 3-day climbing trip back to Holden for Bonanza & Martin Peaks!
On a day when Seattle had a heat advisory in effect (7/15) 6 of us left VERY early (6:30 a.m. start on the trail) and enjoyed stellar views from the summit of Defiance and 45 minutes for lunch including wading/swimming.
Pure mountain magic. It was a fantastic day with breathtaking views, a fun and straightforward glacier route, a bit of exciting scrambling, and a rewarding rappel. Most of all, it was great company and a wonderful experience.
The trip was successful for Plummer Peak only. We did not attempt Pinnacle Peak. Only one scramble student showed up for the trip, and one student was a no-show. To help mitigate the situation and limit risk, we only climbed Plummer Peak, which has less risk than Pinnacle Peak.
