This is a walk up peak with no technical mountaineering skills required other than routefinding and solid aerobic fitness. This can be a good ski mountaineering descent in early season.

Activity Notes

Mt Daniel has been changed to this climb as there is snow now at higher elevation in the cascades. This one should still be a fun cold hike. Good cardiovascular fitness is required for all participants.
