A beautiful day to ramble around Cougar Mountain from the Big Tree Ridge trailhead, going to such iconic places as "Million Dollar View" and seeing the "Fantastic Erratic" rock. We had opportunities to identify some common trees and ferns as well as some mosses along the way.

8 of us beat the worst of the wind on this snowy loop to the summit of Mt. Washington and down via the Great Wall. Snow and microspikes needed from mile 1.4 on making our pace 2.1 mph on the morning with only 2 others on the mountain all day.

A mostly nice winter day for this grand tour of the Narrows! Cloudy with a few sun breaks and showers and little wind until the last 2 miles home. Eagles, sea birds, seals and a few porpoises made an appearance. A pleasant lunch inside at 7 Seas Brewery (The Tides is closed still).

Lovely unmaintained trail for much of the route followed by a road walk with views and a short ridge bushwhack to a summit with limited views. A nice change of pace for a scramble near Seattle.

A beautiful day in the Olympics, with a relatively thin layer of overnight snowfall making for a magical (and cold) ascent through snow dusted trail and trees. A great workout on this 5000’ gain, 9 mile outing. [Lead photo by Ahmed Okasha]
