Last Saturday, despite the weather forecast saying 50% shower from 12-5pm, we decided to try this hike anyways. The south approach starting at the Ribbon Creek Day use area. The distance to Summit is about 7 km but the elevation gain is around 1400m. There is one additional summit at Olympic Summit before we hit the top of Mt. Allan. The clouds did roll in after we summited and we were able to hike down fast enough to avoid most of the rain. We got a little drizzle but we avoided the storm! Ended up getting sunburnt by the end of the hike. Started at 8:50am, Summited Mt.Allan by 1:30pm. Ate lunch and made it back to the car by 5:30pm. Solid day. :)
Here are some pictures from the hike. Taken with my Canon 5d mkIII, Gopro and my nexus 5 camera.
