climbing high
Hikes from Sep 2009-July 2010
Attempts:
Three Tattoosh Peaks, but we were whited out (July 3)
Capitol Peak (fog/lonliness - I was doing it alone/late start)
- Rattlesnake Ridge
- Little Si
- Twin Falls
- Lower Lena Lake - First hike outside of the Snoqualmie area with the fam (Kate, Kirk, Guy, Emily, and I). Very pretty/slightly easy hike to a beautiful alpine lake. Got me hooked!
- Kennedy Creek - Ok hike, better socializing experience with good friends. Through clear cut to a cute little creek, not breathtaking.
- Skokomish River - Nice fall lowland river hike, goes on and on and on forever though.
- Mount Saint Helens - Breathtaking views of the burping bowl at the top, all of the giants of the PNW in plain view, Olympics and Cascades in tow. Should be a yearly event.
- Camp Muir (almost) on Mount Rainier - White out! Glimpses of rainier that went from to hope to frustration very quickly. Did it in tennis shoes, feet were very cold.
- Mount Ellinor - Unexpectedly icy/snowy scramble. Very very steep, very beautiful view of the Olympics, but the eastside of the mountain (where we would have seem the puget sound) was clouded out, still amazing.
- Mount Si (will do on July 17) - Snoqualmie weekend!
