Coyote Wall Trails (Columbia River Gorge) - Little Maui Trail Reroute and Restoration - National Trails Day Work party. Funded by a grant from the National Forest Foundation

Easy winter scramble to Del Campo peak (not all the way)

One of the most amazing places i've been to. We also did cross Columbia glacier to climb the wall beween Keys peak and Columbia peak

We didn't find heavy snow until above 3000' and then it was icy, hardpacked trail and surrounding snow.

Stevens Pass

Larches aflame in Copper Basin, Glacier Peak Wilderness.

Photos from The Enchantments. Soaking up the fall season while the larches are in their prime time. The landscape changed as the sun rose higher. Started with golden misty morning views with a finale of an unreal blue lake. It was great to see so many people enjoying a day hike or backpacking further!

Some repetitive POVs but the colors were outstanding today. Enjoyed watching the lakes change color as the sun rose higher!

" I kept my distance. ... The pictures I took were with a telephoto lens from about 100 yards......as soon as they spotted me, they took up the hill...effortlessly of course."

Well hello!
