Scout Patrol Peak and Little Saint Helen’s were west of Bearscout Peak. The trip also allowed us to visit Hansen Creek Basin for the first time. We had decent weather also.

Road 5510
Road 5510 was clear of snow through to the trestle. Before the trip, I researched the area and read some reports. Then I used those descriptions to make a loop trip of the two peaks.
Scout Patrol sat further south. So the dogs and I tackled it first. Then afterward, we traversed west through the gentle ridgeline. Then we continued north up to Little Saint Helens.
