@Mikal I’ll need to investigate that - I always thought it was harder than class 3. Good points on the North Cascades, a rough road to the trailhead is a good rule of thumb for a quiet hike. The Cascade Pass has been ruined recently…
Trappers Peak, North Cascades, WA. Rough road on the way to the trailhead made this a quieter hike, good bit of elevation and altitude. Really great 360 views of the top, even with a little cell service to catch the end of the Seahawks game! Worthy of a place in the Scots Guidebook of the North Cascades ;) #northcascades#pnw#outdoors#hiking#washington#snow#mountains
What a grind last night was. I recommend mailbox peak for those who want to punish themselves or feel life is too easy. Great views at the top, terrible on the way. A mentally punishing 2.4 miles with 4000’ of elevation. Completed in 3 hours, but I’d recommend taking longer if you don’t want to come face to face with your inner demons. #pnw#outdoors#seattle#northcascades#hiking#washington#trails#nature#mountains#trailrunning#nationalpark
You know what’s software engineering? Regaining control over a computer 20 billion kilometers away thanks to the design decisions made 50 years prior. #voyager2
