A group of us hiked both mountains this remarkable gem of a mountain; two in fact. We camped in the saddle between the two mountains. I was the sole hammock camper. Everyone else used a tent for this trip.

The video shows good camaraderie, good hiking and some beautiful vistas.
If you don't have time to view the whole video, look at the last two minutes. These show fellowship, goodwill and sharing a most beautiful mountain. Hope you enjoy.

Video seems to be set to private. Tried through HF and the link to YouuuTube.
Sorry VerticalX. I goofed last night when I uploaded. Believe I've made the video public now.Originally Posted by VerticalX
Looks like y'all had a good time and some great views.
Everyone ought to believe in something....I believe I'll go set up the hammock!
We did 2ply. The views were literally stunning. I'd been joking with the group on the hike to the overlooks, particularly the first hike to Little House. You'll hear a lot of banter during this hike through the rhododendrons. I hadn't realized how the view had quieted everyone into just gazing until I put the video together. Everyone just sat around and gazed. No talking, just gazing.
I mentioned that I was the only hammock. I discovered others used hammocks but elected not to for this trip. We still had a good time talking shop.
Beautiful views for sure, looks like the kind of weekend that one would like to repeat as often as possable, thanks for sharing.
It was a weekend that would be great to repeat. The group I went with focuses on backpacking destinations. Good folks. We camped in a mountain meadow that had been a homestead in the mid-1800's. Beautiful setting, spring about 1/10 mile away, ancient apple trees. I could see why the original farmer had built his home there. Waking up each morning with views like we experienced would be a good day to start any day.
Wish I had experimented more with my cell phone before the trip though. Next time I'll know to turn it horizontal. This was first trip I've relied on it versus a digital camera.
Thanks for taking us along, JSH! I haven't been out that way yet, beautiful scenery for sure. Glad you had a great time!
Ickeeper1, it was a great weekend. Convergence of pretty much everything that is good with a backpacking trip. I look at the video clips of the summits again this week and marvel at them. But the camaraderie of the group hiking together made it special. You might want to look into the Trailblazers. Link included below. Individuals within the group host trips all over the area.
