  1. 7/8 I made the approach via the Hoh river trail. The first day we made it to the olympus guard station (9.1 miles) where we spent the night, the weather had been spotty that day and rained most that night. The next day we made it to glacier meadows which we had all to ourselves, the weather had been foggy and drizzled just about all day. On the approach we were able to just see the bottom of the magnificent white glacier and surrounding valley but had not yet gotten to see the upper mountain. After a pleasant night at Glacier meadows ( where I should mention there was no snow as there was also none in the avalanche shoots via the approach) we ventured up the lateral moraine where we were greated by a down pour and very strong gusts, deciding that the weather was only going to deteriorate further up we decided to head back We made hike all the way out to the visitors center monday evening (18.1 miles) I should also note that we had also come across two other climbers who had turned around at the snow dome due to similar circumstances.
