Due to the low snow year, this looks to be a long season for hiking. I grew up hiking and skiing and have extensive experience in off trail travel. In the 80's I worked as a back country wilderness ranger in the Skykomish district.
My focus has been the high alpine, remote lakes and abandoned trails.
Since I live in north Everett my default area has been off highway 2, up into the north cascades.
Currently I have Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off and I'm looking for like minded individuals. My current partners are slowing down or out of the area working. While I get out on my own I find I don't push myself to go further or climb higher. I find I enjoy my self more if their is another person to turn to
Have been lurking on nw hikers for a few years but never felt compelled to register. Have found this site to be great source of information, love the history
link and trail reports.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.

Pay no attention to that dude. He says one or two coherent things per year. Welcome to the board! I hope you find a mid week buddy.

I'm in the Leavenworth area. I'm free most weekdays in April (not this week though) until the summer gig starts. Add me to the list of those wanting to get out.

Greetings and welcome!
I work from home and try to get out whenever it is nice- preferably weekdays. For the past couple of years, I have been attempting to move away from trails and onto more climbers trails and bootpaths. Towards this end- and in agreement with your experience- I find I push myself harder and will drive farther to the unfamiliar when accompanied by a partner. Any trips, though, have to to be Class Dog terrain and away from the national parks ...
RichP: Let's try to link up upon your return. Always nice to miss winter- especially when there isn't one.
Cheers!

I doubt if that post will do much for finding a partner.

Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

Hello. I just registered after many years absence because I'm looking for a partner to bike/hike to Three fingers. I have been up there several times, late season before the washout. Last fall I made it to the trailhead on the bike. I do a lot of day hiking and have done a very little off trail hiking /scrambling, mostly solo. I would rather not solo this one, but I will if nobody wants to go. My plan is to bike in and camp one night, at the trailhead, Goat Flats or somewhere in between. and come back next day. I'm not rigidly committed to that plan. Mt. Stickney is another I want to do, I'm less enthusiastic about soloing that one I have been in the neighborhood but not anywhere near the summit. I would really like to see the top of Mt. Index, but would not really consider it solo. I'm always up for tagging along, I move pretty quickly and relish elevation gain. So far this season I've hiked mt. Si (haystack) a couple of times, Mailbox peak once and scrambled Silver peak for the first time. Mt. Baring, Mt. Pugh and Vesper Pk. are my idea of good challenging day hikes. I summited Mt Rainier six years ago with RMI but that's the extent of my actual "climbing" experience. Have Crampons and ice axe, and marginally adequate camping gear. I work Mon.-Thurs. and will take time off for anything interesting. I'm tied up mid June and Mid Aug. otherwise ready to go. send me a note if you think you might like to go on a hike. Thanks!
