Lovely hike through old-growth trees, mosses, and mushrooms!
A small weather window allowed us to complete Hibox and enjoy the fall colors.
Berry munching and panoramic views from a Snoqualmie First Ten peak
Wonderful fall paddle in near perfect conditions. Sunshine, little wind, fall colors and very little boat traffic.
Despite the forecast for intermittent rain showers, we had gorgeous weather with sunny skies and gorgeous views.
Saturday afternoon at Flaming Geyser State Park. Saw the salmon, saw the flaming Geyser, saw the bubbling Geyser.
Another great Deschutes run on the segment upriver of last year's trip!
The view, the weather and fall color were all great. We had a good conditioner and a good time.
Truly beautiful with the first snow of the season. We had a blue sky day with views and the fall color we were looking for.
An October scramble to Hidden Lake Lookout after the first snow of the season.
Last minute, Plan B pivot to Chutla Peak after Longmire gate opening was canceled for weather. Met lots of snow after the saddle and turned around.
We had a productive day removing "volunteer" trees growing on the roadbed on RD-7245. We cleared the section between the creek that flows from Windy Gully up to the junction to the Sidestep trail. We then walked up to the Glen Bandy memorial tree to take in the view an have some lunch. Partial views of the Enchantments -- mostly clouds obscuring -- but some smoke from the Labor Mtn Fire.
The scramble itself was insignificant, but the mushrooming along the trail was spectacular.
Perfect, clear, cool autumn day for this fantastic trip with fellow adventurers!
This time of year, Barclay Lake trail is a great place to see mosses, lichens and ferns. It's a short hike and can be enjoyed rain or shine.
