Ragman and Rodman decided to give the Teanaway area a rest yesterday and settled for something closer to Seattle. We decide to do Snoqualmie Mt and Guye Peak from the Alpental parking area. We encountered almost no snow and there was no problem crossing the creek at the waterfall. We reached the top of Snoqualmie in about 2.5 hours and had great all around views of Olympics, Baker, Glacier Peak, Stuart, Adams, Rainier and all the others in between!
It took us nearly 2 hours to get to the summit of Guye because some minor route finding problems on the side of Cave Ridge since most of the boot path trail was under snow. Once again great views from and we return to the parking lot in 1.25 hours. Ragman will post pictures of the hike together with the GPS route.

I can see why you might have a little Teanaway fatigue, though it's quite nice, the crowds must be gathering, and where haven't you been there ?

Personally, I think the GPS reports are very useful, especially for known routes. As I often hike solo, having good maps for known routes is very important to me. For instance, I find the green trails map for snoqualmie pass (no 207) lacking detail, and when I have a GPS map, it often adds the detail I want. Also, with GPS maps I can zoom in on the map at home, and check out if the route is actually ok for me to do alone.
My 2ct,
Marcel.

Excellent pictures. The shot of Rainier is outstanding

One o' these days I'll have to stop being a Snoqualmie Pass snob and actually get in there & do sumpin'. I particuarly like Red Mtn; it's so - red. Why?
Nice pics.

I enjoyed this scramble today. It rained a little on my way out. Conditions were good. Quite a few bugs if you stop moving.

At the risk of being nitpicky, your "tooth" shot is of Lemah, Thomson and Chikamin.
The Tooth is in a more westerly direction. And quite a bit lower.
Good pics!

On our trip we went by a small tarn near the summit of Guye Peak. We saw two Salamanders swimming around and I got a couple of poor quality photographs.
Small tarn near summit 0f Guye Long-Toed-Salamander-1 Long-Toed-Salamander 2
I just looked them up and I think they are known as "Long-toed salamanders".
I wonder how they manage to survive at 5000 feet altitude!

Thanks for the comments on my photos. I updated the titles on them. I only saw one other hiker while out there today.

Looking at your picture of Mt. Snoqualmie it looks like you might have gone up and over the false summit on the left side of your photo and then up to the main summit more in the center of the photo... if so, how was the route going over the false summit?

Going over the false summit

Let's just say I didn't make it over the false summit. I got on top of it -- that was scarey enough. I made my way back down a ways and scrambled across the face and up to the summit. I thought my approach was a scenic, enjoyable route -- just avoid the false summit. Going back down I took the main trail and it was steep but much quicker.
