Backpacking Archives | One Hike A Week / 每週一行

2018/10/13-15 – Pyramid Slam + Environs / 金字塔滿貫+周圍地區

Pup and I have been chasing after big mountains nonstop since Memorial Day weekend.

McLeod Fire in mid August forced the closure of many roads and trails near Mazama.

Highway 20 felt very much like a ghost town on my drive to Easy Pass Trailhead.

Pup and I were supposed to climb the mountain same weekend we climbed the Napeequa peaks.

Getting to base camp with good route finding skills, one can certainly enjoy the views abound without ever leaving camp.

I first took notice of the beautifully glaciated Entiat River Valley atop my first of the Washington highest peaks.

Pup and I hiked the Buck Creek Trail four years ago on the way to climbing Buck Mountain.

Pup and I used rest of this week to explore the area hugely affected by the 2017 Diamond Creek Fire.

First backpacking trip with the pup this season and Pasayten was calling our names!

Ever since my trip to Snowfield Peak three years ago, I had been itching to come back for some of the other peaks in the area.

We accessed this tucked away high point by using the same initial approach for Mount Hardy.

Pup and I arrived at the Phelps Creek Trailhead late Friday to a lot full of trucks now that the hunting season had begun.
