A real treat on top of Tomyhoi peak - rare silky phacelia. Please take care and protect them!
Seattle branch hike to Third Burroughs on July 30 with a group of 6 hikers.
This was my first hike with The Mointaineers. It was all I expected it to be and much more. Very friendly group and excellent Leader that was very informative and knowedlable. I felt very welcome to be part of the group.
There was more snow than expected, enough to make it a snow scramble
Patches of snow still exist off-trail, used ice axe for belay but crampons were not necessary. The North Fork Teanaway Road is now open all the way to the Esmeralda Basin trailhead. Black flies and mosquitoes were out so bring repellant.
Very shaded and breezy summer hike, perfect for staying out of the direct sun.
Taking out both P3 and Defiance in a loop scramble/hike on a midweek evening.
Beautiful day with fog burning off and giving us wonderful views along this section of the PCT. Great diverse group and a knowledgeable leader.
Great scramble, incredible views all day, very tough and very rewarding. Route in great shape: trail peters out a bit at the "frog pond," but the Summitpost.org beta for this trail is helpful in figuring out where to continue on, as are occasional ribbons and cairns.
Great trip. Great leader. Great folks on the scramble.
Rainy on Friday. Sunny on Saturday. Cold and windy.
Camped at Sandy Camp on dry ground, filtered water from pools nearby. Minor crevasse end running on route which is in good shape. Followed the boot track/trade route climbers right side of the Roman wall. IMG & Mountain Madness were guiding groups on this bluebird Sunday. Strong, well trained group.
loop trip using the torment creek approach and return via the standard route. standard route in perfect condition. also did the dorado thimble aka pt7733, a very fun scramble.
Shoreline paddle from Sunnyside Beach to Sequalitchew Creek near Dupont, WA
Deep Lake variation instead of camping at Tuck or Robin Lake makes the trip less strenuous and even more interesting and enjoyable. You can still venture to Tuck & Robin Lakes if so inclined and motivated.
Hiked counter-clockwise from Reflection Lk TH (no bathrooms). Mazama ridge had a few hikers until we reached the Sluiskin falls area and then is very busy with hikers from Paradise.
Wow the views! Wow the flowers! Short and steep
