Trip Report

Four Obsidians and three guests met at the North Ridge trailhead. After 2.5 miles of ascent we split into two groups as one guest was not able to keep up the pace necessary to complete the hike. The leader and guest proceeded back to the trailhead where the guest was happy to wait. The leader then went up the other end of the loop (North Ridge trail) to meet the descending group. <br /><br />
The main group enjoyed views all the way to St Helens. The view to the west was obscured by fog. <br /><br />
