One of the highest highs from this summer — second breakfast (read: morning Snickers) just south of Seavy Pass.
“I found the trail,” was a statement made 85% of the way up what we’re calling Ruth Ridge. This is neither the first nor the last time such words will be used on one of our outings. Note the mountain goat herd on the opposing saddle, who seemed to be showing off all afternoon.
Utter contentment hanging out on Mt. Rainier under Mt. Ruth this afternoon. Worth all the sunburn, ten times over. ☀️
Feel the burn! So close to the pass...
Despite the obvious limitations posed by physics, I kept wishing I could walk on the lily pads, lay down, and take the most peaceful nap. Settled for a warm slab of granite as I listened to the fish acrobatics happening beyond.
While I might still be missing the beautiful and alien terrain from my California trip, it felt lovely to roam my familiar Cascades this weekend.
