Last weekend , I went backpacking to an abandoned campground in the Olympic National Park. No views but lots of fun, and slept right a long the river
We had some visitors come into our camp
Today I did a leisure hike with friends to Lena Lake, on the out side of the Olympic National Park.
Had more friends try to join me at lunch.

Over the last few days I've done Angels Landing, The Narrows, Navajo Trail in Bryce and other short jaunts in the SW.
This is Thors Hammer. It is on the Navajo Trail in Bryce NP. The photo is a little too saturated. Oh well….
This is from the Narrows in Zion NP an easy and hard hike through the Virgin River
Hope you're all doing well with your hiking and eating. I'll post more in a few days. Heading to Monument Valley, Arches, Canyonlands
What an epic trip! Nice photos!0 -
Yesterday I hiked to Colchuck in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness of the Cascades.
It's a beautiful glacier-fed lake.

A sign at the trailhead warned that there were mountain goats "habituated to humans". No kidding!
Streams are still running high from snow melt -
ETA: trying to get the photos to fit - you may need to right-click to view the entire image.0 -

Yesterday I did 10.63 miles round trip to Marmot Pass in the Olympic National Forest. The hills were crazy up, up & up, then up some more. Never a break.0 -

Video Link . We did 9.14 miles during a dangerous heat advisory. Maybe not smart, but I really enjoyed it. Burned 4632 calories, and washed away the rest of the calories with 3 liters of water & some gator-aide.:laugh:

We camped Sunday night on Baker Lake in the North Cascades and yesterday hiked along the Baker River - a very pretty trail through some really neat old growth forest - moss-draped with ancient cedars. I feel really fortunate to live in this corner of the world.

Baker River Trail:
Sulphide Creek - a tributary to Baker River - our lunch spot and the end of the trail inside North Cascades National Park. Icy cold water never felt so good.

Thanks Joe. The North Cascades are beautiful. And you've been to some spectacular places yourself this summer. Just seems like there are too many great places, too little time.0 -
Great Pictures Mary!0
