"Super climbing day with Benson Miller and successful summit of Revolution Peak, my 16th Home Court 100 summit. Stats: 15+ miles, 5000 feet of gain, 12.5 Hours C2C. Beta: Spoiler alert - this is one of the most underrated peaks and trail. It's one of my favorite summits. From the low, gentle curving trail that snakes through the forest, passing by old-growth stumps - sentinels reminding us of the forest's former glory, to large glacier erratics, and vistas and lookouts with benches carved from old-growth trees to the winding path that ebbs and flows with Granite Creek, where the cascading thunder of the flowing water waxes and wanes as you climb, this trail is definitely one to add to your like. It is a make your own adventure, from a short trip to Granite Lakes, to a ridge climb and drop to Thompson Lake and traverse to Mount Defiance, a trip to Thompson Point, the former site of a cool cabin and gateway to the Zorro Ridge and Gifford Lakes, or to the summits of Revolution Peak and Russian Butte, this trail has it all. Today's Conditions: Snow free until you cross the bridge spanning Granite Creek, Snow at 2000 feet - use microspikes and there are many small, but slippery..." — markhadland • Mar 27, 2021
