A couple pics from Upper Lena Lake in the Olympics. Of course there were beautiful sunny days before and after my visit, but I kinda dig the quieting effect of the low clouds.

its all nice on rice posted:

Oh man! It was so much more hazy when I got to the top of the trail last week. The hike was still nice, though. Great shot!

Thanks! The hike back to the car was a bit spooky, pitch black the last 1.5 miles. Glad I checked my headlamp before I left, very nearly headed out with dead batteries. I think I should stick to sunrise hikes. It was definitely the quietest I've ever seen the trail, though. There was a group of 3 headed up as I was coming down, and passed one couple and their dog heading down as well.

Crosspost from the Dorkroom. Overnighted Rialto Beach/Hole in the Wall. Beautiful sunny day in the low 60s, pissed rain overnight, another sunny day to hike out yesterday.

Went and did an overnight last Sunday/Monday at Flapjack Lakes. Escaped the heat a little bit, was in the low 90s, but UV was punishing. Not my best photos, pretty harsh light but the scenery is pretty inspiring. Oh, and my plan of spending the whole day in the lake was foiled pretty quickly. Apparently even 90 degree heat doesn't take the edge off snow melt, I lasted about 2 minutes before my hands and feet were aching with the cold.

Preparing for Rainier next month, did a hike up Mt. Ellinor from Big Creek campground for the first time. Adds on to what is usually a pretty short and sweet hike in distance and another 1500 feet of climbing. Bit socked in at the top but the flowers were in great shape.

Goat Rocks continues to be one of my favorite backpacking trips ever, second only or maybe tied with the Washington coast.

I was looking for advice on a nice loop hike and ended up doing a loop around Glacier Peak. I cannot fathom how we have so much beauty in WA.
