Mt. Lady Macdonald ex-Teahouse site Trail hike on 20-Apr-2026

Participants: Sim, Bill, Alda and Stephanie

Beautiful spring weather for our hike today, and a nice chance to get the legs back into hiking shape (at least for me who hadn't been out much this winter). The trail was a bit icy in places higher up, but not enough to need spikes. Upon reaching the old teahouse/heli-pad site, of course this group wanted to go higher, so up we went on the switchbacks to the higher bump above. Thankfully, for me, no one rallied for the summit. Thanks to everyone for a great start to the scramble season ahead, and Stephanie for sharing her photos.
