A 3-day round trip from the bottom of Deception Creek to the top of Mt. Daniel.
July 2017
A worthy swimming hole
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some 200-footers back there – lots of big hemlock and alpine fire.
Prime mosquito habitat.
Distant peaks to the north.
An unnamed peak with an unnamed waterfall
Cathedral Rock and Peggy’s Pond.
The ridge walk (an easy part).
That same unnamed peak, Rainier behind it.
Circle lake, Rainier, with Adams on the left horizon.
An unnamed lake at the base of Lynch Glacier
Looking Southwest from the top.
The east false summit, Mt. Stuart behind it.
The Olympic Mts. on the far west horizon.
A zoom-in on Mt. Adams. Keechelus Lake in the mid-field.
Lyle Glacier and its lake.
Looking east, into the central Washington haze.
The true summit, from the middle false summit with the fractured top of Lyle Glacier.
Mt. Baker
Mt. Barring and smog from Everett.
