Start of Martin's solo run up to Lookout Mountain. This was the slope steepness most of the way, so lots and lots of switchbacks.
First stighting of the destination still another couple thousand feed up.
Looking back down into the Cascade River valley.
Nearing the top and looking around at some of the peaks, none of which I know the names of.
Getting very close to the top now.
Looking back down to the valley floor where the run started.
Opening up the door and heading into the lookout. A couple beds and a stove make for a cozy (and free) place to sleep.
...and what an amazing 360� view.
Not the prettiest bed, but the view is hard to beat.
Prepping for the float down the Skagit River.
Looking downstream from the launch point.
Rob doing final prep while Zoe, Gavin, and Miles provide absolutely no assistance.
Martin and Rob help launch the main boat. The canoe and raft in the background are the other "vehicles".
