In the morning we went back to this trail junction sign. The snow was right at the top of the sign the evening before.
Climbing up from Lake James to Yellowstone Cliffs the trail passes by this little mountain valley on the Northern Loop Trail. This is near Windy Gap.
Mt. Rainier is the white mass in back of Sluiskin Mountain. A sloping field of avalanche lillies decorate the nearby hillside.
Dozens of trees near the Lake James Ranger cabin were blown down in a tangled mess. The meadow near the cabin was covered in tree trunks and branches.
Sluiskin Mountain looms across the valley of Van Horn Creek.

Lake James and the Natural Bridge above the lake along the Northern Loop Trail at Mt. Rainier National Park.
Avalanche Lillies abound on the side trail to Natural Bridge in mid-July.
Natural Bridge is a 200 foot wide stone arch. The top is about five feet wide. Some people climb out onto it, a foolhardy act in the backcountry, in my opinion.

The small lake at Windy Gap is just melting out in mid-July. We filtered water here for the trip down to the Carbon River.
Van Horn Creek flows down a small waterfall into the meadow new the Lake James ranger cabin.

Dozens of trees near the Lake James Ranger cabin were blown down in a tangled mess. The trail to the cabin was totally covered in tree trunks and branches.
