| A nice hike in the cool September air on a Sunday afternoon on my way back from Canada. | |

| This was a nice and easy east side hike with high prom and a county highpoint as part of the reward. | |

| Climbed this one by myself. The flies were so bad I couldn't stand still for more than a few seconds. I ran most of the way down so I didn't get eaten. Saw both white-tailed and mule deer on the trail. | |

| Enjoyable day hike to the top. Interesting collection of 'junk' up there. Air was smoky from fires up in BC. | |

| This is a great hike. It snowed the night before and I had the honor of breaking trail in all of about 1-2" of snow on the summit. Still real cloudy and not much of a view. | |

| Weather good, no snow. Quite a few hunters. I wore my orange and yellow vest for safety. WA county highpoint #24. | |

| This is the easiest hike in the area in which you can get over 7,000 feet elevation. Kids can easily tackle this peak. There was a few patches of snow on the summit on this day. The skies were hazy from distant forest fires to the west. I had last climbed this mountain in 1995, a year after the forest fire had burned the timber. At the time, there was no undergrowth, but 9 years later I was pleased to see some 2'-high brush. For most of the hike, one can see through the dead trees. There is an eerie silence from a lack of wildlife. Although this trail is well maintained, when the dead trees fall it's going to take LOTS of chainsawing to keep it clear. | |

| I hiked the north 30 miles of the Kettle Crest trail with a friend. The trail goes right over the summit. This time of year, the subalpine meadows are green with knee high grass and there are thousands of wildflowers of every color. Beautiful scenery to boot - well worth the jaunt. | |

| My wife and I joined theplugger and her husband J plus Bob and Dotty Martin on this county highpointing hike. Actually, we got there well after they had started hiking, and we didn't "catch" them until they were on their way down the trail. The others waited at the Copper Butte/Midgnight Mtn saddle while they ate some lunch, and we caught them there. Then several of us hiked up the ridge to the top of Midgnight and back. Gorgeous day, and great fun! | |

| This was another fun little hike on a gorgeous day with blue skies overhead. My husband, J, and I joined Bob and Dotty Martin on this hike. Bob is an intrepid county highpointer, we went along for the fun of it. | |

| A lackluster summit but a nice view point that gave a 360 degree look at all of the surrounding countryside. Unfortunately a fire burning on the Colville Indian reservation obscurred the views to the south and west. Lots of bear sign all over the area and I heard "something" crashing through the forest as I was about a mile and a half up the trail. My guess was a black bear or better yet, a Sasquatch. | |
