Mount Ellinor in the Olympics from a couple weeks ago.
Really good bang for the buck, only about 7 miles round trip with just a third of it requiring gear (crampons, ice axe). Summits with views like these are typically 12-15 mile car to car endeavors.

was at the local world famous arboretum, and I saw a tree trying to abscond with another tree on its shoulder. Hope it all worked out OK.

Mount St Helens summit.
Hasn't yet hit news but apparently a body was found on the cornice later in the day.
I saw a rescue helicopter going up as I descended but figured someone was just hurt. Glad I didn't see it.

Who is the guy in the pic?
I do kinda wish I was in the shape to do those intense mountain hikes, but it just seems like a big task to get there at age 50, especially learning to use the required equipment. Wish I tried this shit like 20 years ago.
This time of year sucks scenery-wise in southern California, especially during a drought year.
Wish granted.
Honestly you probably could get there, fitness-wise. I always tell people if you have muscle memory from hiking it's not much harder to climb up something like this.
Nearby Mt Hood, Adams, Shasta are harder and require tools year round.
St Helen's in summer is mostly melted off except for glaciers and they enforce permits which keeps traffic down.

Bagged Mount Angeles in Olympic National Park today.
Nothing massive but the scrambling on the final stretch to the summit was really intense. Nearly turned back like 100 feet from the summit as I knew downclimbing ropeless would suck and the final push was the worst. Thankfully had no issues.
Hurricane Ridge area where I started from is some of the most spectacular scenery accessible by paved roads that I've ever seen. Being up there alone at low elevation for sunrise provided more impressive views than the summit.
