Great Evening Hike
Started from Catherine Pass parking lot in Albion Basin. Went up from Catherine's Pass and hit Tuscarora, Wolverine and Millicent. Then went down to the Brighton Lakes and back up to Catherine's Pass and out. Three easy peaks to get within a couple of hours. The views are fantastic.

Loop Hike
Fun after work hike. Started at Brighton and hiked up to Catherine's Pass. From there, I walked the ridge over Tuscarora, Wolverine, Patsy Marley, and the Honeycomb Cliffs. Returned to Twin Lakes Pass, and back to Brighton. Lots of moose. Total time was about 2 hours, 43 minutes.

Nice day for a hike
I needed something to do otherwise I would be doing yard work so I remembered this one from a page Eric put up on his webpage. So I went to Alta without my skiis and hiked up to Catherine's pass from where I went up to Tuscarora and then over to Wolverine. Nie nice view point. Just outstanding. Then I went back down via a cross country route that I picked from the saddle between the two peaks. Lots of people on the trail but no one else on the mountains.

Hike with Annie
The road closure added at least a mile onto the hike (one-way). My cousin, Annie, and I did it on a beautiful day with thunderstorms that came in as we left in the car. Millicent peak made it a fairly successful jaunt in the mountains but really, it was just some quality time with family.

....
A few years ago I skied (well, rode) the east face of Wolverine with Mockba during the winter, but I had never been to this area in the summer. As part of a day of easy hiking and bagging some easy peaks, I got up Tuscarora and Wolverine, as well as Sunset from Catherine Pass.
Very enjoyable hike. Came over from Millicent and descended down to Catherine's pass. Views are outstanding, but the summit felt a bit underwhelming. I enjoyed the summit of Millicent much more.
Hiked the ridge. Hit up Wolverine, Tuscarora & Millicent. Looking over the different parts of the valley from Tuscarora felt like Heaven. Did this hike back in 06 with my good friend Dino and had to do it again. Had lunch and a few beers on the way back down. Wonderful hike.

From Twin Lakes Pass
Climbed to Twin Lakes Pass and made an impromptu decision with my partners to head out to Wolverine Peak. From there, traversing over Tuscarora to Catherine Pass seemed the logical descent. A pleasant 4-hour hike on a beautiful fall day.

Nice Views
March 19, 2015 - Pat M and I did a ski tour up to Patsy Marley, over to Wolverine and down to Tuscarora, then skied the south aspect between Wolverine and Tuscarora down into Alta.
April 18, 2009 -- From Grizzly Gulch, on skis, en route to skiing the Wolverine Cirque.
Mar 29, 2008 -- Skinned up to Twin Lakes pass from Alta via the Grizzly Gulch, turned south at the pass and started up the ridge nearly made it to Patsy Marley but the wind was so strong and I was on the windward side, so I had to head down then turn west to gain the ridge up to Patsey Marley dropping onto it's leeward side. From Patsy Marley I skinned along the Cirque ridge top to Mt. Wolverine, and then down to Mount Tuscarora. The Wolverine Cirque is awesome. Due to the strong winds and the wind loading, I decided to ski down the south side of Tuscarora into the Catherines area of Alta ski resort. From the peaks I enjoyed the westward view of Superior, the north view of the honey comb cliffs, the east view of Brighton and Catherine Lake area, and the south view of Sugarloaf and Devils Castle.

Toured up this with Steve G. in late January. Came up from Alta via Grizzly Gulch. Had a few really nice runs on the north aspects below the peak before heading back up to Grizzly.

Skied the west couloir
via Catherine's Pass, after work one evening. We were going to go over Millicent too, but it was getting late, so we dropped off the ridge, crossed a boulder-field, and jogged down the trail to Brighton from Twin Lakes, arriving at the parking lot just as it was getting too dark to see.
Edited: did these peaks again Oct 14, 2007 this time including Sunset Peak and Millicent; see this album
Another update: in December 2010, skied from Grizzly Gulch over Patsy Marley, then skied off Wolverine (to the northeast) and Tuscarora (west face) then did two laps on Sunset Peak's north face. Summitted again in spring 2011 as part of a few laps in Wolverine Cirque - skied the west couloir from the summit (awesome).
