| marieg | Near home, many times  | |
| The road is pretty tore up lately, lots & lots of ditches dug out in the middle of the road for the first few mile. Lots and lots of ups. & downs. Kinda sucks now. Used to love this hike. Quick, fairly easy, and long. No crowds...the best part! | |

| bigjoesmith | McDonald in Spring Date Climbed: Apr 7, 2012 | |
| Sunny day in early April. More snow than I was expecting, but it has been a cold wet Spring. Constant snow started just above the prominent switchback at 2400. There did not appear to be any recent traffic beyond the turnoff to the radio tower. | ||

| Redwic | Sun, Snow, Chilly Date Climbed: Dec 30, 2010 | |
| A long, boring slog to the true summit. Uneventful, except for a little snow at the upper elevations. At least I have most of the western Washington "dumpster dive" P2Ks done with, as I have no need (or desire) for return trips to places such as this! | |

| BKW | Quick Morning Hike Date Climbed: Nov 11, 2009 | |
| Despite a dismal forecast we hiked McDonald on Veteran's day. We were rewarded with clear skies and crystal clear views of the lowlands and Olympic Mountains. We pushed our bikes up to 2200 feet. Snow started at 2500 feet. | |

| ericwillhite | 2nd time success | |
| First time was a snowshoe to the communication site. Second time I was working on a timber sale up there so I drove most of the way. Perks of the DNR. McDonald Mountain Trip Report | |

| Hey, this is one I climbed with Dean. On a bike, at least partly. We saw a bear trying to get at some red gatorade in a bottle. | |

| Dean | Biked it Date Climbed: May 25, 2007 | |
| Since McD is #117 on this list (prominence peaks of Washington), Eric Noel and I biked up (pushed them a lot uphill) most of the way and finished by hiking the last mile but the ride down was something to behold (I'm not a mtn biker, really). This list of john page is what helped us find the true highpoint:McDonald Mtn We had good weather. | |
