Amazing day on the mountain! Perfect weather, wildflowers are peaking. The snow on the Muir field was decent on the way up early in the morning but a bit of a slushy mess on the way back. Still some good opportunities for glissading though. Took a little over 3 hours on the way up. Route finding was relatively easy on a perfect day, even for a first timer.
I used Kathoolas & poles on the way up and down and was glad I did. There were people going up in tennis shoes so I guess anything is possible.
A must do hike for anyone in excellent physical condition as it is a grueling trudge up the snow field. Fantastic views of Adams, St. Helens, Hood and the Tatoosh Range.
