Getting psyched up kid-less hike day #2. Much mouse carnage at the cabin the night before - 9 little critters are no more.
And we're off on the Pacific Crest Trial out of Snoqualmie Pass.
Our first clear view of Guye Peak which we ultimately ended up looking down on.
Heading through some rockfall with Commonwealth Basin and Red Mountain in the background.
Must have been exciting when this boulder, which is several times the size of our house, came crashing down the mountain.
A few wildflowers were still out.
This meadow was buzzing with dozens of bees.
The trail stayed in the woods for a nice, long while and climbed at a mellow grade.
Now the rocks and sun hit full-force. Not the best section for a dog.
Looking down on I-90. Granite Mountain, the previous day's hike, is somewhere on the right side of the picture.
Shade, sweet shade.
Up, up, up we go with rusty Red Mountain getting closer.
