1st trip
Hiked from the supplemental parking lot west of the visitor’s center. Hiked up Skyline Trail with a very brief piece on the Waterfall and Alta Vista trails, and a short turnoff on the Glacier Vista Trail. On the Skyline to the Upper Skyline and then back down the Skyline to
The Golden Gate Trail. Brief turnoff at the Myrtle Falls viewpoint.

The forecast for today was mostly sunny and windy. Today the forecast was spot-on. Beautiful sunny skies but it was very windy, especially at Panorama Point. Would have liked to have our lunch there but it was so windy we opted to go back down where the wind wasn't quite so blustery. Found a good spot near some trees that acted as a wind break and had a gorgeous in-your-face view of the mountain. We started counter-clockwise from the parking toward Myrtle Falls along the Edith Creek Basin route. From there a steep climb up to Panorama Point. Back down along the Alta Vista route to the parking lot. GPS clocked it a little under 3.5 miles and just under 2,000 ft elevation gain. It felt like more but maybe I'm just out of shape! Fewer people out today given it was Friday so while we saw a fair amount of people, it never felt too crowded today.

We hadn't been to Paradise in a while and the weather looked too good to pass up. Great day on the mountain. We hiked almost all the way to Panorama Point. We used our snowshoes the entire time but we saw people with all kinds of gear -- snowboards, skis, tennis shoes, sandals, etc. We started just after 10 and conditions were already a little slushy. Down near Paradise at the end of our hike it was a total slush fest. Bright sun and blue skies made for a great day. Even saw a couple marmots having a nice little rumble while a third looked on. Mt. Adams and Mt. St Helens were clear clearly visible as well.
