I have been to Cascade Pass several times, each time with its own unique experience... This is a place of many wonders! Thats why it is and for a long time will remain my Special Mountain! I will explain each of the experiences of when I went to Cascade Pass or Sahale Mountain which is basicly the same hike but right next to each other and to access Sahale, you must first go up to Cascade Pass. The first time I ever went to Cascade Pass, I did'nt even get to the parking lot and took place in...

Me, and Gimpilator (Adam Walker) nocited on April 25, 2008 that the weather was very good, and clear, so I called him up and asked him whats going on, and he says that perhaps we could go on a hike the next day. So I wake up the next day on a early morning, and he calls me, and he decides on Mail Box peak which was an exellent choice, also I have never been to this one, so I thought it would be a great experience. So we head out and drive to the trailhead, and all is well, exept the fact...

The Mountain Loop highway is a very unique set of Mountains, located in the Cascades. Although it may not be my favorite place in the world, it is one of them so far. I been to the mountain loop highway plenty of times, but this time, because the road was closed, I would have to walk it. Even though you have to walk the road part, it is quite scenic! It was January 21, 2008 when I went on this trip, and I was a photomaniac, and would take photos upon photos. Because I took so many photos, I...

It all started on a febuary afternoon of 2005, when my family was going to go on a hike to Mt. Pilchuck summit but we got there too late. We decided on Heather Lake instead and my brother Kyle and Zack came and they don't get along very well. It was a nice hike to the lake. Once we got there we had a picnic and had Lunch/Dinner. After that, my mom and Kyle and Zach wanted to turn back, but me and Michael wanted to scramble up this rock pile to get a view above the lake which is off trail. After...

So we get prepaired and the day of the forth of july there is lots of clouds around Mount Pilchuck which worry me because I wanted to be able to see views of the Puget sound with fire works. Mark's dad fortunatly approves of going wether the weather is bad. So we take off to Pilchuck and buy some fire works along the...

It started on Monday, August 4, 2008 when I came home, and heard the news that we were going for another hike! Once again as usual I am very exited but unfortunatly no friends are allowed and we leave late as usual. But we brought a tent. It was perfect weather on Monday but crummy on the weekend which because it was a week day, it was not very populated. The drive there was scenic with the alpenglow. When we got to the trailhead, I took a few photos, and we packed our gear and started hiking...

I been waiting a long time to go to Camp Muir, months which almost felt like years. It took a lot of discussing with the boyscouts because fortunatly my friend Mark Straub was the Sr. Patrol Leader and got us organized for Camp Muir. It got canceled on May 25 due to bad weather which turned good on that date. Finally on July 25 the weather is somewhat good looking, although a few cirrus clouds, and we heard that the weather would be bad.... but that would'nt stop me, and the scout master had...

But fortunatly for me and my brother, an oppertunity arose when Mark Straub, one of my friends mentioned he wanting to go, and that his dad would be taking us. Unfortunatly Adam could'nt go do to knee problems, so my brother went in his place. Atfirst my other brother would'nt let him go, which...

The trip started June 14, 2008 Saturday. Like always we had a very late start.... oh say we left home at 4:00 P.M and it took half an hour or so for me to pack up my gear while my mom did all the stuff she usually does. While I was packing, without me noticing my cat Athena jumps into the trunk of our car thinking its some kind of bed. And I close the trunk without knowing my cat was in there. As we are driving to the Mountain Loop Highway, my mom plays some music, and we hear a cat. I thought...

Me, and Gimpilator on September 12, 2008 went to Three Fingers. When I heard the news, I could hardly wait, I been wanting to go here longer than any other mountain that I have waited.... about 3 years, the reason I did'nt go a long time ago because my mother always way busy around the time of year that it was avalible, or bad weather, or money problems. I pack my gear, and head out there on a Friday Night, so that we could get an early start. The road had a few bumps, but was better than I...

It's been a while since I been hiking... about a month and a half, and for me thats a long time. I've been sick a few days earlier with the flu, but have the desparate desire of hiking even if I am weak and will be very tired during the hike. I called Gimpilator's house and stayed there, and was so lucky to have this oppertunity. I could'nt sleep well that night... around 3-4 hours of sleep, due to my sickness and waited until we would get ready. By this time it was Sunday Novemver 23, 2008...

Me, Gimplator, East King, Ben, and Anna decided on going on a hike to Mount Persis. I was very exited, and I spent the night at Gimplator's house, and could hardly sleep from exitement. We woke up the next morning which was October 19, 2008 and had oat meal and headed out. On the way there, I relized that I perhaps forgot my camera battery, and sure enough when I checked, I had forgotten it! To me, this is horrible, because I am a photo maniac, but atleast Gimp brought his, so I guess I...

I've been waiting all week for our next hike, which was supposed to be Jolly Mountain, but things change. Again I could'nt sleep well and only had 4-5 hours of sleep, slightly better than last time. Before the trip I was crossing my fingers about going because not only was the weather looking bad, but I would have to get a ride to the South were we would meet up. My mom would be too tired to get up at 5:30ish and Michael was sick the night before, but fortunatly my brother got better by...

This trip took place on December 7, 2008. Before the hike a few days before I tired myself out and got my self sore on my legs due to an intense game of dodge ball, some running games at youth group and a game somewhat similar to tug of war which very much tired me out but by Sunday I somewhat recovered. Unfortunatly my friends had me stay up and tricked me into drinking soad to stay up until I realized what they were doing so in total I got 3.5 hours of sleep, which is'nt too bad, but I need...

Trip was on January 17, 2009. Although this was'nt a hike, I thought it would be nice to share here: It started as just an idea, my friend Sean wanted to take me snowboarding, and as usual told my mom at the last second. She could'nt take us, but fortunatly my brother could. The night before the trip was January 16, 2009. We went to Sean's house and asked for the money, and Sean hung upon his mom on a phone call because he was angry about something, it was frusterating for him what happend...
