We enjoyed an urban hike through the parks and streets of Queen Anne Hill on a sunny Saturday morning.

Successful winter climb of the North Face of The Castle
Turned around in the parking lot due to rain.
Combined with Cave Ridge, this was a delightful third choice when weather forced us off our original destination and a closed road eliminated our backup plan.
Only about 1/2 mile of snow on the road, should melt quickly to trailhead. Lots of snow after great winter. Snow bridges are pretty thin at stream crossing. Most crevasses covered by snow, nice wide path all the way to the summit.
excellent conditions. snow started just a little past the creek crossing. very little postholing. multiple excellent glissades.
climbing route essentially snow free. winter/spring approach in perfect shape
Last lovely weather day before the start of more rain the following day. A great group which included this year's new scramble students and a few seasoned ones.
Midweek after hours trip. Trail in good condition with some flower and almost no snow.
A very relaxing and enjoyable weekend in very good company.
Successful trip. Nice views but a very warm day.
Leisurely outing in a lovely area.
We hiked from Slab Camp trailhead in Buckhorn Wilderness of Olympic National Park to Gray Wolf Camp in ONP.
Successful climb of Mt Garibaldi via Brohm Ridge/NE face
A strenuous day with sweeping vistas from Baldy Peak on the Gray Wolf Ridge.
A beautiful day and venue for a river crossing practice. We focused on using the wedge technique to facilitate crossings where stream depth and volume might make a single person crossing a bit spicy.
My party successfully summited, but I did not due to persistent bronchitis.
