Mount Daniel - Single Day Climb

Mount Daniel is a substantial behemoth of a mountain located within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness between I90 and Highway 2 in Washington State. Being the largest mountain in the vicinity, it offers amazing views. Many do this as an overnight but I enjoyed it as a one day push. The stats look worrisome but it’s pretty gradual and well maintained so it’s not super taxing. Not to say every single person should do it but I think most seasoned hikers would be able to tackle it. Nothing too technical up top, minor scrambling. This was in September which offered some vibrant fall colors near Cathedral Pass.
Feel free to comment with any questions you may have about the route!

Beautiful my friend Enjoy the best day Fully watched 🥰

[@JenniferLupine]

Perfect day- looks like great views the whole hike! Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll definitely put it on my list - I probably wouldn’t make it to the peak, but to the upper views! Awesome! Great share - thanks! 👍🌲🌲

[@mmoutdoors1]

Yeah it’ll definitely be worth the trek! Thank you for watching!

[@brandonchhann539]

Those are some killer views, on a nice clear day too! Great to see you guys making videos out your trips! Giving me some great hikes to add to my list also.

[@mmoutdoors1]

Thanks man!! The views were unbelievable. Yeah we recently started making them more of a vlog style video, we’ll see where it goes from there. Thanks for watching it!

I was up there back in 8/2018. it was smoky due to forest fire. Your view is much better. I think this climb is the hardest day-hike (no overnight camping).

[@mmoutdoors1]

Major bummer getting smoked out on this one. At least the views down around the mountain itself are absurd. It’s a great challenging dayhike!

[@DannyJSchaefer]

Awesome video man! I too have Mt. Daniel on my list, and hope to knock it out one of these days. Loved the shots of Venus and Spade!

[@mmoutdoors1]

Thank you! Yeah they looked amazing from above and with rainier in the back drop

[@travisneuman2080]

Wow, thank you for sharing! Do you know the name of the pyramidal peak at 4:26? Beautiful footage!

[@mmoutdoors1]

That's Mt Stuart in the Enchantments, big ol beast on the horizon

[@benjaminmahoney3377]

Beautiful day, epic views! Great video Mitchell. You starting these up as a hobby or little side hustle and seeing where it goes?

[@mmoutdoors1]

Thanks man! Yeah more of a hobby, kinda fun to make from time to time. If I did it every hike I’d prolly fall out of love with hiking tho🤣. Thanks for checking it out! Hope all is well with you guys👍

[@groatd]

Do you know what model sweatshirt you were wearing? I'm diggin it haha.

[@mmoutdoors1]

It was a North Face L2 Grid Fleece. I love it. Well made, very breathable. But keeps you reasonably warm. The chest pocket is nice too for a phone

[@groatd]

@@mmoutdoors1 Nice! Im likely going to order one haha. Thank you!

[@JordanGreenPNW]

Nice video dude! Had Daniel on my to do list for far too long. What time of year was this? Recent?

[@mmoutdoors1]

Thanks man! This was end of September! I think right now there would be snow from peggys pond and beyond but probably still doable without too much extra gear

[@MrTopHype]

u got a gps track

[@mmoutdoors1]

www.gaiagps.com/public/Lyxq7pFiRClMerPQpQPHhDit This should work. However it’s a pretty well traveled area so not too difficult to find your way
