Looking for an easy ridge traverse

[tjb111]

Anyone got any suggestions on an all day easy to moderate ridge traverse that can be done in a day? Any info would be appreciated.

A hike or a climb? If an easy hike is what you crave-hike up Church Mountain, or Yellow Aster Butte trail maybe. Either one you could walk along the ridge for quite a ways. Also linking Skyline divide to Cougar ridge would be a good day hike as well, but a car shuttle would be required.

Traverse all three Ingals peaks.....three peaks with scranbling and some climbing upt o 5.7 with a good bit of 5.0 to 5.6.

Poe Ridge trail is a great hike but it's not a traverse so you go out and turn around and come back.

Persis-Index was fun scrambling. Long day.

Traverse of Markhor Peak and Needle Peak via NE ridge & SW ridge - Coquihalla Pass.

 

Traverse of Mt. Webb up NW ridge and down S ridge.

 

Traverse of N and S Twin Sisters near Bellingham, or as far as you can go in a day along the Twin Sisters range

Some other hiking traverses include Mary's Peak to Earl Peak (views into the Nightmare Needles and Crystal Creek) and Longs Pass to Ingalls Pass .

 

For a moderate climbing traverse I second doing all three Ingalls Peaks (altho I've only done the East and North from the notch). To make it easy just traverse the South Peak back towards Ingalls Pass and don't do the other two.

 

One of my favorate high traverses is the Carne Mtn high route to Mt Maude - a reasonable but long day.

Long day but doable with a light pack. Traverse Forbidden East to West. Might end up finishing the hike out in the dark if you have traffic on the West rigde downclimbing
