Mt. Hayes from the Denali Highway. The summit of Mt. Hayes is 13,832 feet above sea level. It is about 11,000 vertical feet above where I shot this photo.
I found these bikes at the visitor center on a trip to scenic Mt. Nebo in Arkansas. I thought it would make a cool photograph, and after much experimenting, ended up with this.
Comments Appreciated.
Traversing this mountain range is an ULTIMATE BONDING TIME with God, and getting in touch with your inner self, in such a way where LIFE and DEATH are at stake. Thank you Lord for this wonderful date ♥ We love you so!
SHARING AT CAMP IN THE EVENING:
---- Matthew 7:7-11----
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"

"Even its name draws from a spectacular origin. Every yearend, the sun sets right between Batulao’s two peaks, creating an image of rocks surrounding a disc of red light. In Tagalog, this phenomenon of “Bato sa Ilao” (Illuminated Rocks) became abbreviated to “Batulao”. Although this happens only in the last week of December, Batulao’s charms throughout the year are more than enough to make it among the favored mountaineering destinations. "
The Mt. Si Motel is located about one mile east of downtown North Bend, Washington. Opened in the 1950s, this place was the film location of the Red Diamond City Motel in David Lynch's "Twin Peaks - Fire Walk With Me." It also appeared as the Dutchman's Lodge in Twin Peaks - Part 15 on Showtime. See more details about this film location: www.twinpeaksblog.com/2020/03/27/twin-peaks-film-location...
The day looked foggy. As a fact, it was supposed to rain in the morning. We were determined to go. You see , we were doing trial runs for the 2 day Inca trail in Peru.
Mt. Pilchuck ("Red Water" in native American) stands 5324 ft above sea level, with the trail starting at 3100 ft. The 3 mile trail (one way) is the rockiest trail I have seen in the northwest climbing 2000 vertical feet. An average climber like us would take about 3 hours to climb, 2.5 hours to get down.
Make sure you have good climbing shoes before you take on this trail. I used tennis shoes and struggled.
Especially, the last 400 feet is a four limbed climb to the historical fire watch tower built in 1918.
While Rhea (aged 5) was able to do the entire trip on her own, she is not the best of bench mark for kids her age (or twice her age). She can make the Energizer bunny look slothful.
The view of the Cascades, Olympics and Sound from the watch tower is (supposed to be) awesome.
And while we missed the million dollar view, we got enough for us to gasp every now and then ...
Getting there: I-5 Exit 194/ east on High way 2 (6miles) /North on HIghway 9/East on Mountain loop highway 11 miles to Verlot.
GPS Address: Surprisingly, I always find it difficult to find an address to plug into my GPS. It takes a while before one can find it. . Here is address for Mt. Pilchuck.

After you reach this ranger station (and buy the USFS pass), you drive one mile east on Mountain loop highway and then take right onto forest service road 42 (first right after the bridge) and continue 6.9 miles to the trail head.
