http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/756645439

Album with 168 2-sided pages (most used on the front side only) recounting trips made by the Mountaineers between 1913 and 1916. Lulu Fairbanks kept this scrapbook on various trips she took with the Mountaineers into the Cascade Mountains and around Puget Sound. As a journalist, she describes in colorful detail the landscapes they encountered, along with the personalities and activities of the group. She describes the dedication and construction of the Mountaineers lodge at Snoqualmie in June 1914. The scrapbook has typewritten commentary and is illustrated with original photographs, pictures from books and magazines, and post cards. Relevant news articles are also included. Some of the excursions began with a railroad journey, and the scrapbook contains several images of trains. Names of some members are provided, and many geographic features are identified. Both summer and winter excursions are described and illustrated. The first trip that Lulu Fairbanks describes, a visit to the Tulalip Indian Reservation, takes place in June 1912, when she says she is not yet a member of the Mountaineers. The latest dated entry is en route to Snow Lake in May 1916.
