Some photos taken from a hike today. Unfortunately due to a balky camera lens (forgot a spare) I did not get as many photos as I hoped.

The hike was fairly easy (by my standards) and according to my map calculations and GPS waypoints, was about 19 kms (11.5 miles). The original plan was for a longer hike, however wet weather is moving in which means snow at the higher elevations. In terms of weather, this is an unpredicatble area and is not uncommon to see more then a foot of snow dumped in a night.

The weather was cool (36F at the trailhead and varied as the sun heated up to as high as 40F in the lower reaches then back down to 35F at the highest elevation of 1600'

Fresh snow overnight makes for a nice view up river and mountains. Today's destination was slightly NE of this photo which is almost looking directly north.

This trail is fairly easy and with only a few steep sections


Great scenery all morning as a few low cloud rolls by


Break time along the river

I cannot recall the name of this peak, but she is a beaut!


This area was logged in the 1920's and in the stumps you can see where loggers cut out notches for their springboards


Old shovel...it has been there for years.


Old double axe. There are many old logging tools in this area and fortunately for the most part, people do not take them.
