Dyan decided to stand under the waterfall for a few minutes....
Next on the list was a recon of the Icicle creek area by Leavenworth, with Phoebe. Fresh dusting of snow (some while we were hiking) impeded any actual hiking, though we did hike on the fourth of july creek trail (one of the other trails up icicle ridge) for an hour or so until we hit solid snow.
Scouted out the road to the colchuck trailhead.
And did some important lizard rock basking.
The end of April I got to scout a hike I've been pondering for a while, and intend to go back to with backpacking gear... the north fork sauk river trail, which eventually climbs up to a cool pass, and is essentially the shortest approach to climb Glacier Peak right now. I was accompanied by Sally.
Crazy snowy-ish weather.
The ramshackle Mackinaw shelter (no, I have no idea what or who a mackinaw is)
On the drive back, it was snowing hardcore (this was completely dry when we started that morning)
She describes herself as a furseal, and apparently wears spandex skorts regardless of weather, which is cool.
First hike of May: Greider lakes. Had our first solid stretch of great weather, oddly coinciding with a day off, but that day turned out to be mother's day, so we couldn't go too far so people could get back in time for dinner with the mater. Never been here before (though I've been in the area), both hikes out here are rather bland, and I doubt I'll return... though it was a great day and perfect length for the situation.
I always get too lazy to change lenses, then I remember how cool the super wide angle is...
