I enjoyed this hike when I did it mid September time a few years back. I did it during week and there was no other hikers on the trail that day. I did run into one up by Panhandle. Talk about solice. I went up to Panhandle Gap and then to Little Tahoma. Ranger gave me a nasty, ok not …

Mt. Rose · Anonymous · Aug 14, 2011

My friend decided to get married 1 mile into this trail. I promised I would go even 7 months pregnant. I was a difficult hike and reminded me a lot of the mount Si trail switch backs all the way. It was difficult and everyone with us passed me but I did make it and everyone including me said it …

Sourdough Gap (Chinook) · Lucky Pierre · Aug 13, 2011

Very nice hike. My companion and I made. The hike Aug 12. Wildflowers were profuse and will get better. There is one spot where snow patches are still on the trail. Look for yellow plastic ties in one spot where the trail is difficult to find. The view from the gap is quite spectacular and you can see both Mt …

Perfect day

Mt Adams · Milt · Aug 9, 2011

Climbed this mountain Aug 2-3 with a guide that I hired (didn't want to take any chances). The road to the South ridge trailhead is pretty awful, so don't bring your sports car. It seems that snow was blocking the road right up until very late July, so if you don't want to hoof it an extra mile or two, …

There is a trail?

★★★★★
Owyhigh Lakes · Jared · Aug 3, 2011

As the previous reviewer mentioned, just about anyone and everyone can get from the Sunrise Road to the Tamanos Creek Campground (or at least to the bridge just before the campground). Very uneventful portion of the trail, pretty but uneventful. This was the 4th day of our groups 5 day trip which began at the Carbon River Ranger Station (open) …

Zion Narrows, Virgin River · Anonymous · Jul 25, 2011

Make sure you rent the black/yellow water shoes and neoprene socks along with a walking stick. We talked to many people who asked us about the shoes and saw some people who said it was a mistake not to rent the right equipment and were miserable. I really walked in the river coming and going and never twisted my ankle. …

All uphill

MailBox Peak · Milt · Jul 23, 2011

As of July 2011, you need a state Discover Pass to park at the trailhead. There is only one place in North Bend at the moment to get one and that is at the local Ace Hardware. There is no sign at the parking lot that says "Mailbox Peak", you just have to know it's the right place. It seems …

Well Worth the Work!

Lake Serene and Bridal Falls · Ruth · Jul 19, 2011

We did this hike yesterday. We're in our early 60's and in OK shape. With hiking, eating, and photographing, it took us eight hours round trip, including the BV Falls. Starting up in midafternoon and going on a Monday meant there were no real crowds. The trail is in good repair, but quite rocky in some places and lots of …

Savage Hike

Alta Mtn. Rampart Ridge · Joe · Jul 13, 2011

This hike was only my second serious hike.. wasn't all that hard considering i'm a 6'1" 230 lb big boy. there was a lot of snow. not much mud, but in some places there were pretty big muddy areas, easily maneuverable though. the very highest peak we got too was really crazy. super high and many places where you are …

Lake Serene and Bridal Falls · haley · Jun 27, 2011

The trail was in good shape and easy to follow. Not too crowded early in the AM, so suggest getting an early start. Things were getting really backed up as we made our way back down.

The Lake and Falls are both amazing, let's be honest though, it's a tough hike. not the worste of the worste, but probably …

Cable Line

Tiger Mountain · Steven Sarff · Jun 19, 2011

Tiger Mt Cable Line Trail. Ran the flat areas and kept moving on the steep parts. Never took any breaks. After hiking this hike a few times I thought I'd go for a time. 36 Mins 15.2 Seconds. I wanted to break the 35 min goal. Gives me something to aim for. Besides that my average time is right around …

Excellent Spring Hike

Boulder River · Anonymous · May 23, 2011

The forcast called for the first day to reach 70 in many many months, we decided it was a day for a hike. The falls had lots of water flowing over them. The trail had seen lots of blowndowns, but the WTA was up there working hard and the trail was in great shape. One of the trees that had …

Comet Falls · don · May 6, 2011

my wife to be and i made this hike on a beautiful july morning........coming from illinois every step of this walk was gorgeous. she was a bit tired but the people who were coming back down said it was worth it and they were correct. we waded in the icy clean waters and stood under the falls :& got soaked......just …

Wallace Falls · Bianca · May 3, 2011

Being fairly new to hiking, this trail kicked my butt. It is great excercise, several places to stop and rest. I took a couple trails that led down to the river, got some great pictures. Took the "Woody" trail and made it to the top, went down the same way. This was on a Sunday at 4:30pm, so there was …

Angels Landing · Patrick · Jan 11, 2011

I first made the angels landing hike a few years ago, at age 18, with my dad. I now have a great desire to go back with friends and experience it again because it was absolutely stunning. My experience was to start quite early in the morning, about an hour before sunrise, and find yourself at the top shortly after …

nice trip

★★★★☆

i havent seen the wreckage for 50 years. in those days we could use motorcycles on the trail. lt took only one day. l think it was 63 miles from ouilicene to sequim.......

Upheaval Dome · Laird & Julie Pisto · Oct 11, 2010

We did this hike in May 2010 and found it to be one of our best memories of the several national parks in Utah that we visited last spring. We also began the hike with the quick trip to the overlook -- where most people, unfortunately, turn around and leave. If you get onto the trail itself, you are sure …

what a stumble

Plummer Peak · brea hiker · Sep 25, 2010

Decided to find a trail opposite Ranier, and after a good drive into the national park chose Pinnacle Peak trail. Got very lucky for a 4 hour window where the weather broke. The scramble from the saddle to the top of Plummer Peak was moderate, and ended up with one of my best 5 views ever. I was even able …

Owyhigh Lakes · Milt · Sep 24, 2010

I really didn't want to go on this trail. After passing the trailhead sign for it many, many times on the way to Sunrise, I thought I'd do it just check it off the list. It seems that the trail books just mention going to Owyhigh Lakes from the Sunrise road and then heading back the same way. The map …

Best hike I've done

Mt. Si · Anonymous · Sep 24, 2010

I hadn't been hiking in a few years and I thought I was in pretty good shape. But oh man was I winded after about a mile. If you don't like incline, I do not suggest this hike for you. It is a definite leg work out. It is switch-back after switch-back pretty much all the up. The trail can …

Skyscraper Mt.

Skyscraper Mtn & Berkeley Park · Milt · Sep 23, 2010

We did the Berkeley Park trail to get ready for a Mt. St.Helens climb. On the way to Berkeley, we noticed a peak high above which we found out later was Skyscraper. The maps that the park hands out show Skyscraper, but no trail to it. After reading about a Skyscraper trail in a couple of Rainier trail books, we …
