The actual hike took us 7 hours and 10 minutes, but that includes several breaks and 1 hour at the top where this picture was taken. We hiked it October 18th 2011 after all the snow was finally melted. There was still several feet of snow in late August this year when I last attempted the hike.
The Colonel Bob Trail is still closed due to the damage from the 2007 storm. The new trail to use is Upper Pete's Creek Trail; it's shorter but steeper.
This shot was achieved by combining 22 photos. Below I've linked to a higher resolution version as well as an annotated version for those curious what the points of interest are.
This is a 360 degree panorama I took on top of Colonel Bob this week. Visible are Mount Rainier, Grays Harbor (including Ocean Shores and Westport peninsulas), Pacific Ocean, Lake Quinault, Olympic National Park mountains, and the Colonel Bob Wilderness' other peaks.
