Bean Creek Basin — Saturday, Jul. 1, 2000

Snoqualmie Region > Salmon La Sac/Teanaway

The family (Julie, Jordan, Josh and ""Joe dog"")and I decided to head east for the Teanaway. We love this area and wanted to hike a loop trail if possible. We figured we could make our own by heading up through Bean Creek basin, over the ridge and down onto the Beverly Creek trail for the way out. By the time we arrived into the Bean Creek basin, Julie and Josh chose to turn around because the climb up to the ridge was pretty steep and they were pretty tired. Jordan, ""Joe Dog"" and I went for it and reached the ridge in short order. We were rewarded with magnificent views of Mt. Stuart, the Stuart range, Navaho peak, Iron peak, and the Glacier peak. If fact you get a 360 degree view of the entire area which was spectacular. We ridgewalked south from the main peak and finally were able to go down a steep game trail into the Beverly creek basin and catch the main trail out. It was a wonderful trip and offered a little something for everyone. The flowers (shooting stars) in Bean Creek basin were absolutley gorgeous. Only saw one other person on the trail even though the parking lot was pretty full. Love them hills! G-Man
