Bachelor Mountain via Bugaboo Ridge - Aug. 16, 2019
Published on 8/18/2019
Perfect weather conditions for this wonderful alternative route up Bachelor Mtn. Still some good wildflowers, among them purple asters, rattlesnake orchids, twinflower, Scoler's bluebells, and tons of huckleberries. Lower section is a lovely ridge walk, then a short rocky section until you join the usual Bachelor Mtn. trail. Amazing views of Cascade peaks. Seven hardy and happy hikers: Elly Collier, Pennii Norris, Karin Shinn, Roz Shirack, Blanka Truneckova, Jill Wilson, and leader Mady Kimmich
