I had to move my site due to Tripods new policy of only providing 20 megs of free space, my site currently uses the old maximum at nearly 49 megs. As you may have noticed my site was also being shut down on a daily basis due to exceeding Tripod's new bandwidth policy--but hey what could I expect for free. It was fun while it lasted.

In the coming weeks I hope to release the new format of Alpinejo-Backcountry Trails Guide with a new database and searching capabilities.

Thanks for visiting!

Washington Backcountry Trails

Ingalls Creek Definition of terms below Location: Eastern Washington  Directions: Head out I-90 to US 97 over Blewett Pass, turn left on Ingalls Creek Road Difficulty: Moderate  Elevation +/- 1200 ft gain Distance: 12+ miles Rating: 8 out of 10 Fishing: Did not try Scenery: High meadows, and spectacular Stuart Range, wildflowers Map: Printable Topo Map   Ingalls creek is a beautiful place, we went in the end of May. You start out hiking through an old forest fire, the trail wanders along the creek nearly the entire way. The fresh forest smells are great, the views are minimal for first 5+ miles but once you break out of the trees, watch out because it is beautiful. The wildflowers were spectacular: glacier lilies, Indian paintbrush and even an orchid of some sort. We hit some snow and had to cross a couple of avalanches. Do it again?
