Hiking

Did some hiking with some fellow co-workers/polycounters this weekend at Snow Lake in Snoqualmie pass. I wish I had a better camera/lens though, but they came out fairly decent for taking alot of them while walking.

Damn!

How far out is that?
Looks amazing, the photos give a great sense of freedom and its elements.

I sure would get a trigger finger if i was in a place like that with me camera :P

great stuff!

I have hiked a ton in the olympics, but not up there by the pass (despite driving through there countless times) I will have to check it out

Great scenery, thanks for posting these. Gonna steal some of them for my inspiro folder.

No problem. I have more, but didn't want to post them all, I took over 500, but only really liked about 125 of them.

Yeah, we drove a little ways, here is where we were..

We might be going again soon, it would have been cool if u came, but it came together so fast. Will def. let u know next time. It was beautiful out, but a little nippy, prob. 40-45 in some parts.

Wow, some nice scenery there. I haven't been out hiking since my kid was born, I miss it. Making me a bit jealous :P

Wow. That looks sweet! It sucks living in the Northwest without a way to get out into the wilderness.

I'd like to go hiking, too bad Dallas is pretty flat..

Awesome that looked like a lot of fun, those are some pretty good shots. I used to do week long hikes up in Alberta about this time of year, before I settled down. Not so rocky, not a lot of fir trees more aspin and pine, a lot of open fields but great camping and you can cover a lot of ground and never run into anyone.

Now is a pretty good time to get some hikes in. Cold enough the bugs (and people) probably aren't out in force and stepping out into the sun actually feels good.

Pilchuck is pretty good this time of year too, amazing views too, if the weather is clear. It's pretty crowded in the summer especially on the weekends, but with the view at the top from the look out its pretty easy to see why. This is a sweet time to go before it starts snowing.

Mt Baker is amazing too. But its a drive and half from way down here. There is a lodge you can drive up to. You have to call ahead make reservations if you're going to stay. It's fan-freakin-tastic staying there and hiking around. It's probably booked up this time of year though, but with the economy the way it is... maybe not...
