FUN!
IPD members got outdoors once again this month on a trip to the Central Cascades. Some people enjoyed a great day hike to the beautiful Spider Meadow/Phelps Basin area while others camped overnight before continuing on to summit Dumbell Mountain (8421 ft), one of Washington State’s highest 100 peaks.
