JasonG Posted September 15 Posted September 15 Trip: Pinnacle Mountain - Standard Trip Date: 08/25/2024 Trip Report: I can finally admit it. I am out of the closet. I am an aspiring Bulger. It has taken me almost 30 years of closeted Bulger bagging to come right out and admit it. Why else would you find yourself trudging through 10 miles of burn to the upper reaches of the less than attractively named Snow Brushy Creek and to a summit that hardly requires the use of your hands? Oh, the views. Devil's Smokestack on the hike in ^ Lots of fire carnage on the hike in ^ v North side of Saska from camp ^ Saska, Emerald, and Cardinal from the ramble up Pinnacle ^ Bonanza ^ Rugged peaks on the west side of Lake Chelan ^ @cfire and @Trent heading up Pinnacle ^ @cfire and @Trent walk the last few feet to the top of Pinnacle ^ The view west to South Spectacle Butte, Dakobed, and Maude ^ @cfire and @Trent on the summit ^ Hiking out the lonesome Emerald Park trail after Pinnacle ^ Gear Notes: We only brought hiking poles and this was fine once the snow comes off Approach Notes: Entiat River trail to the Emerald Park/Snow Brushy Creek Trail. All had been recently logged out as of our trip, esp. Snow Brushy. I don't think we stepped over a single tree. Good camping where you leave the trail to head up Pinnacle 4 2 Quote
