This was a successful BWT trip. It was done at a moderate pace with frequent stops to view wildflowers.
Six tenacious women enjoyed a beautiful day tackling the Rachel Lake's "mile from hell."
Snow climb in the winter, scramble in the summer
Participants decided to take the west route. An exciting and fun deviation from the standard route.
We had eight paddlers attend the June 22nd Wednesday night paddle. It was a balance of four experienced, three recent graduates and one pending graduate paddlers. Winds were 5-12 knots from the west with a flood tide until 9 PM under overcast skies. Our route took us south to Gull Harbor for a high tide paddle deep into the quite waters were we saw 4 or more Great Blue Herons. On our return paddle a Pigeon Guillemot was observed delivering fish to a nest in the bluff above Burfoot County Park, several more Pigeon were seen fishing in the area. All participants completed the paddle successfully!
Alternate destination (3rd & 2nd Burroughs Mtn) chosen due to avalanche hazard on intended destination Mt Ruth. Beautiful day with lots of mountain goats, and a fire rainbow.
A fabulous, strenuous hike with 180 degree wilderness views to enjoy at the top!
baker+colfax east summit 6-22-2016. route in great shape for hiking, but would currently not be fun on skis.
Good day(mid-week) & time(evening) for this popular hike.
Gorgeous day for a hike although this is one of the busiest trails at the pass.
Steep snow climb with a sporty rock scramble finish!
Route in good shape and was spared the recent Junuary snow storms. Great climb on a mostly cloudy day, only one other party (guided) on route.
Excellent snow scramble to Anvil Rock on a beautiful day.
Fantastic day with a little bit of everything, except bad weather!
