Trip: Mnt. Olympus - Blue Glacier-4th of July Route

 

Date: 7/30/2011

 

Trip Report:

A while ago I packed a pair of boots and a bucket of calories and headed off on my bike to climb Mnt. Olympus. Not the fastest trip I have ever been on, but undoubtedly one of the best!

Outstanding! Did the same trip last Sept (with Corolla assistance) and shared your response to the approach:

I had always heard horror stories about the death march into Glacier Meadows enroute to Mount Olympus. I found the walk up the Hoh River Trail through an ancient rainforest to be one of the most pleasurable day hikes I have ever done.

After that, the climb is the icing on the cake :tup:
