Silver Star - South Ridge approach

2

Birthday hike to the summit of Silver Star via the South Ridge (Indian Pits). Got a little turned around with all of the logging road options, but eventually found the old jeep track that ascends the ridge. Gained the ridgeline and waded through beargrass and talus to the top of the Indian Pits ridge before summiting Silver Star and having a little party. Glorious sunshine, little wind, virtually no snow. Returned via Grouse Vista for a spell, and then ducked back over to the South Ridge. Did not display Disco Pass in the gravel pit "trailhead" and returned to find a ticket.

The lack of snow is mind-blowing.

I know. It's bound to change soon, sadly. I'm curious to see what this next big system brings.
