Bear Mountain #119 Ken Russell (Port Orchard, WA) writes:
"I visited [Bear Mountain #118 (Chelan County, WA)] on October 28, 2012. It was a nice evening with wide views and just a thin coat of snow on the summit. To the west rise the high Cascade Mountains and to the east and north, Lake Chelan is framed by high peaks. The mighty Columbia River can be seen to the southeast. My only company on the hike was a buck and two does.
"I don’t blame Tony Johnson and Theresa Fisher for turning back from the summit of [Bear Mountain #119 (Clallam County, WA)]. The thick trees and brush (dripping wet when I was there on May 18, 2013) made me feel like I was swimming sometimes instead of hiking. No views but the summit did have wild rhododendrons that are probably very nice when they bloom."
