Pictures of Grand Lake
This will be the first of some overdue picture posts. I'll be merciful, and post them once every day or two.
This last Monday, I went on an overnight backpacking trip with my dad and two of his old college hiking buddies. They're a fun bunch. The full report can be found here. This post is just for the pictures.
Behold, the beautiful and cooperative transparent butterfly!
First up, the top of Lilian Ridge. I think that's my dad in the shot. The tips of Mt Deception, the second tallest mountain in the Olympics, can be seen beyond the ridge. I like how barren everything is.
Mt Olympus, tallest in the Olympics.
Ron surveys our gorgeous campsite. You can get a tiny peek of Grand Lake on the left edge of the picture.
Moose Lake, the next lake up.
Marmot at Moose Lake. I confess, I'd really like a hat made out of marmot.
Climbing out of Badger Valley. That little dot down there is my dad.
The whole set, which I highly recommend, is over here.
