What a great day in the high country.
Indian Paintbrush
Part of the quicker elevation gain.
"Stairs"
Almost to the trail junction.
Some Ptarmigan along the trail.
Our lunch view.
The photo below shows our hike destination, Excelsior Peak. We took the trail around the right side of the hill to make our way to the top. So we basically walked around the back side to get to the top.
Our destination, in the photo below. The higher hump.
I took the photos below showing our view at each angle as I turned while we were at the top.
Shuksan in the distance.
Mt. Baker hiding in the low clouds.
We came down the front of the hill trail, so that gave us a loop around the top. Poor hubby, 2 yellow jacket stings. I think they targeted him because he fit into the scenery so well, just like an alpine flower - hee hee.
Garmin stats:
total miles - 10
total ascent - 3852 feet
