320icar ... thanks for the great pics.
I spend most of the year marathon training and I love hiking in the summer. Somehow I had never done the Chief so my GF and I went yesterday. I ran 15 km in the AM so we didn't actually start until shortly after noon. We went to the second peak and looped back down the route that most people take when they go straight to the third peak.
Boy was it busy but what the heck did I expect on a 25 degree Saturday in July in the afternoon.
