| This was a long time ago, but I had to post since this is one of the most beautiful places on earth in IMHO. The trip to Robin Lake is definitely a challenge, but well worth the effort. Dry and dusty trail conditions do nothing to help, but good weather and a beautiful summit make it all worthwhile! | |

| Wow - the last weekend of September and temperatures were in the 80's! It was a steep trail up to Robin Lakes, but we were rewarded by a great campsite and amazing scenery. After leaving our packs at the camp, the scramble up to Granite Mountain was easy, following the ridge between the two lakes. Great views not only of the neighboring peaks but also of the many inviting lakes scattered around the area. As hkutuk mentioned, we extended the adventure with a scramble up Trico Peak the next morning, followed by an extended bushwacking descent along a creek which gradually grew from a narrow rocky gully to an enormous washout canyon. Somehow we still made it safely back to the trailhead, where coincidentally we ran into fellow sp'er rpc and his wife Shirley returning from a Daniel climb. | |

| From Tacquala Lakes TH followed the steep trail up to Robin Lakes. From there headed up the ridge between the two lakes and then left down to the saddle and up to the peak. The peak to the south looked higher so again dropped down to a saddle and up to the pointy summit of Granite Moutain. The skies were smoky from nearby fires but still great wievs of Mt. Daniel. Next day went NW up to Trico mountain. Not sufficiently thrilled by the climbs we decided to go down off trail. So first down a granite gulley to Trico lake and then followed Trico creek drainage, which worked out well until we hit the falls almost at the valley bottom. After some down climbing and some climbing back up into the forest brought us down to PCT. Lakes along the way provided refreshing breaks on this exceptioanally nice September weekend. | |

| The Robin Lakes area has been one of my favorite places since 1977, but I have only climbed Granite Mountain on three of my trips there. The views are great! | |

| Camped between the Robin Lakes near the outlet of upper Robin. Nice place to pitch one tent. Great sunrise in the morning. Just basically a walk up going up the northwest ridge. Great views in all directions. My favorite was looking down on the klonaqua lakes, interesting to me because the Leavenworth fish hatchery drains water out of the lakes and you can see the altered shore line. Great views back towards Mt. Daniel, Mt. Rainier, east to Mt. Stuart, etc. | |
