My fraternity brother Charles took a weekend trip to Seattle. He and I went on a fantastic beautiful day-hike to Marmot Pass in the Olympic National Forest.
An awesome trip to a mountaintop ridge with views of the Straights of JuanDeFuca, Victoria BC, Mt Baker, Glacier Peak, Seattle, Bangor, Mt Rainier, and Mt Adams, all from one spot. Glorious fog blown meadows, surrounded by snow capped peaks. And of course friends.
Took the dogs and an off-leash hike. Icy spots on trail in open areas even at the trailhead. GPS didn't register until downward stretch so stats might be off. Left car @ 11:45 returned @ ?
Walked to the south summit on a clear summer day. Â Rhododendrons still blooming at lower elevations.
This was a leisurely hike up to Windy Pass, identifying plants and wildflowers. Wildflowers were blooming prolifically.
