Trip
Winter Scramble - Notch Pass
Great views in the NE Olympics rain shadow to South Green Mountain (~11 miles, ~4000’ gain). The northern summit of Green Mountain (the official Green Mountain) is rendered undesirable by the extra 2 miles of Rhododendron bashing (out and back, yum ;) needed to reach it.
