Mount Dickerman is a very nice hike and a good work-out. Almost 4000' elevation gain. Well maintained trail.
The trail is a bit boring before getting to the berry area. Huckleberry on the higher slope still needs at least 2 weeks.
A bit lower, some edible ones.
Views popping to the south.
Saw a pika.
In 3 hours, 5 of us reached the summit. No sign of the rest.
Lunch, and a long wait. H also brought a large flag with a post and stand to take photos.
We gave up, and headed down.
Met the other 4 on our way out. So, they all made to the summit.
At the parking lot, Harry and J.D. sat in their camping chairs chatting. I sat at the only picnic table by the TH, reading my book, waiting for the young couple in J.D.'s car. The girl is a travel enthusiast. On the drive back, that's all she talked about, kept us entertained. When driving by Granite Falls, the boy talked about Critical, the WA version of Burning Man in late July. He went this year, and said that the Friday evening burn and party after is the best to attend.
Back in Seattle downtown a little after 5pm.
