"Borrowed a 03-27-21 GPS track from Peakbagger. The route departs from the Dingford Creek Trailhead, crosses the river, and roughly parallels the east side of the Price Lake ravine to the summit. Departed from the Dingford Creek trailhead at 6:30 A.M. Snow started around 2K. Threw on snow shoes before crossing the river. Broke trail to the summit. There are two steep areas that aren't awesome to climb in snowshoes. It took us about 6.5 hours to reach the summit. It took about 4 hours to get down. The 360 views from the summit are amazing.

"I went up Mount Price on a Mountaineers overnight scramble. From the Dingford Creek TH, we hiked up the Dingford Creek trail to the Hester Lake trail. On the crossing of Dingford Creek there is a log upstream 50 meters that I used on the way back. Others in the group opted for changing boots for flip-flops. On the Hester Lake trail there are two places marked by pink ribbons where the route goes east off-trail to avoid standing water. We camped at Hester Lake, just beyond the outlet. The second day we hiked along the north shore, up to Little Hester Lake, and up to a saddle NW of the lake. There was deep snow from the saddle up to the summit, very straightforward. Going up, the snow was pretty good for kick-stepping, and after some warming, it was excellent for plunge-stepping coming down. The views from the top are magnificent, with all the high peaks to the east. We could see Glacier Peak, but it was a little too hazy to see Baker. There is cell phone connectivity on the peak, but not anywhere else. It was a very long slog: 4:30 hours up the first day, and 13 hours hiking the second, though we were not going very fast. Note that Jeb's trip report shows the same tim..." — markgarrett • May 28, 2019

"I've had my eye on Mount Price since beginning this quest for summits. It's mostly forested Southern slopes stretch 4000' vertical feet above the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River, lending the illusion of greater prominence. While dwarfed by neighboring Big Snow Mountain, Mount Price stands on it's own when viewed from many other peaks in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. A later start time made this peak seem like a more reasonable winter summit trip other options that were on the table. I have read reports of 4-6 hour ascent times with moderate to heavy snow cover but we found having dogs in tow added nearly 2 hours to that estimate. Most of the snow above 3000' was 2-4 feet of compressed base with a few inches of powder, of course with the occasional sections of icy crust and deep powder. We used microspikes for the top 2/3 of Dingford Creek Trail and snowshoes from the Dingford Creek crossing to the summit, then crampons on a quickly-firming surface during our descent. A few inches less snow would have made the crossing of 2 small fields of large talus too hazardous to cross, especially with dogs. We left the Dingford Creek Trailhead at 8:30. A few other vehicles were in the lot b..." — Jeb • Dec 28, 2013
