May overnight scramble trip to the Enchantments. Camped at Snow Lakes for three nights. Went up to climb Cannon on day 2. Then McClellan on day 3. Core was covered in a deep blanket of snow making travel enjoyable.

Fabulous fun day hike to Pratt Lake Basin - including 2 waders and a swimmer, delicious homemade cookies, and lots of facts about plants and birds. Strong 2.3 mph showing by 10 CHS-2 hikers including a last-minute add third leader. Good luck getting to K2-basecamp, Julie!

An exploratory Plan B climb in case we couldn’t get walk-up permits for Meany Crest to climb Little Tahoma turned out to be a spectacular climb with stunning views.
The trip took us over St. Elmo Pass and across the Winthrop Glacier to Camp 1 for the Liberty Ridge route at Curtis Ridge (not to be confused with Camp Curtis), resulting in an excellent vantage point of the Willis Wall, Liberty and Ptarmigan Ridges.The next day, we climbed Steamboat Prow and Mount Ruth.

4 of us enjoyed an atmospheric foggy day at the Falls with our dog and chose to descend along the lovely Connector route with its moss, ferns, and waterfalls.

Calm winds and waters with overcast skies made for a pleasant summer paddle in the greater Deception Pass area. Two students completed their first required paddle to qualify for their Mountaineers Basic Sea Kayaking badges, both successfully demonstrating self and assisted rescues along the way.

I’m surprised that this scramble isn’t listed more frequently.
The bike approach is enjoyable and the scramble itself offers a variety of terrain and scenery.
It requires a long day but offers a great reward!

A fantastic route that allows one to know what its like climbing in the alpine with the ability to still clip bolts! Is this Europe?!

Highly recommend this loop if you’re looking for a classic Olympic backpacking trip without big climbs but with big scenery, and ancient secrets.
