Example Trip Reports:
Flattop Summit Sunrise
Trail: Flattop Mountain Trail
Date: August 15, 2026
Caught an incredible sunrise! Trail was a bit muddy near the top but otherwise clear. Saw a few marmots. Highly recommend an early start for the views.
Crow Pass Traverse Adventure
Trail: Crow Pass Trail
Date: July 20-22, 2026
Three-day epic! River crossings were high but manageable. Numerous bear sightings, so bear spray is essential. Glacier views were breathtaking!
Thunderbird Falls Family Hike
Trail: Thunderbird Falls Trail
Date: September 5, 2026
Perfect easy hike with the kids. Falls were flowing beautifully after recent rain. Path was well-maintained and shaded. Great for all ages!
The Ramp – Challenging but Rewarding
Trail: The Ramp
Date: June 10, 2026
Steep ascent but the panoramic views from the ridge are unbeatable. Still some snow patches higher up. Bring plenty of water and good hiking poles.
