The "new" lava dome and the Mt. Margaret Backcountry from the crater rim |
Last weekend saw unseasonably warm weather with a ridge of high pressure locked in over the region. Fresh off an incredible week of powder skiing, I figured it was time to go harvest some spring corn. After climbing at Ozone in perfect weather on Saturday, I drove up to Marble Mount trailhead with some friends and crashed out in the parking lot. Up at 3:30 and on the trail by 4:15 or so, we topped out around 9 am to clear skies, calm winds and the promise of a buttery corn cycle on the descent. Enjoy the pics.

We soaked up some incredible views of the blast zone and Mt. Rainier |

Eventually more people made their way to the top, including one guy with a huge pack that included a parasail |
