Cloudy with snow-covered peaks last Halloween; pouring rain this one as Washington doing what it does best. #columbiapeak #kyespeak #frogmountain #pnw #fallhikes #onehikeaweek

From quiet Gothic Basin to jagged Weden crest, Sheep Gap awaits as the ultimate test.

Sunrise over the Honeycomb Glacier in the Glacier Peak Wilderness. The sun is a bright spot in the sky, casting a golden light on the snow and ice. The snow-covered glacier stretches across the foreground, with swirling patterns in the surface. In the background, jagged, snow-capped mountains rise above a blanket of clouds. Sunrise in the Glacier Peak Wilderness. The sun, a bright starburst, is low on the horizon, shining through a gap in a line of tall conifers.

Summits above, mirrors below, the Tatoosh doubles the view we love.

#tatooshrange #mountrainier #pinnaclepeak #washington #pnwhiking #trailscape #mountainreflection #landscapephotography #naturephoto #onehikeaweek
Pinnacle Peak rises sharply behind alpine meadows dotted with evergreens. Its rugged cliffs mirror in a quiet tarn along the Tatoosh Range Trail in the South Cascades. Mount Rainier and Little Tahoma tower over the horizon under a hazy sky, with glaciers and rocky ridges reflected in a clear trailside pool high in the Tatoosh Range.

Golden hills, faithful paws, and Rainier watching from afar.

#rattlesnakehills #easternwashington #hikingwithdogs #pnw #wideopenspaces #trailtuesday #traillife #onehikeaweek
A yellow Labrador walks up a winding dirt road toward the summit of Rattlesnake Hills Lookout in Eastern Washington. The path curves gently through golden-brown terrain under a partly cloudy sky, a quiet moment in the open, high-desert landscape. A distant view from Rattlesnake Hills in Eastern Washington, across a frosty, rolling landscape toward a cloud-covered Mount Rainier on the horizon. Layers of hills fade into the background under a pale blue sky, with golden-brown slopes in the foreground and faint power lines cutting across the open terrain.

A long-overdue trip to the true summit.

#mountrainier #overcoatpeak #banderamountain #littlebandera #alpinelakeswilderness #landscapephoto #naturephotography #onehikeaweek
Majestic Mount Rainier, with its snow-capped summit, dominates the horizon, towering over a vast landscape partially veiled in a wispy, ethereal temperature inversion. Emerging from a soft, undulating layer of clouds, the sharp silhouettes of Overcoat Peak and Chimney Rock in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness stand tall and imposing against the sky.

Fer-now, or fer-never? This Mount Fernow by Becker Peak is not to be confused with the famous one, the highest point in the Entiat Mountains. 😁
