5 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain •
It seemed like all of WA state was out with their dogs on this perfect fall day. 100s of cars lined the highway near the Blue Lake trailhead. Climbing was also busy and we had to wait to get onto the Beckey Route. Lovely to climb on granite.Got benighted again, but luckily it was after we had rappelled and then down climbed the "unpleasant gully".
