Hjem / Northern Loop 2009 Photos WA 22
Dato for opprettelse / 2009 / July / 23
Mt. Rainier along the Wonderland Trail above the saddle between Moraine Park and Mystic Lake.
Fog lies in the Carbon River valley as the morning sun rises.
The rising sun pours through two small breaks in the clouds in the east. These clouds later turned into thunderstorms but they never made it to the park.
The big patch of dirt in the middle of the photo is the Carbon Glacier covered with rocks and dirt from Mt. Rainier. Fog lies in the Carbon River Valley far below.
Mt. Rainier just after sunrise reflected in a meltwater pond. The marine air forms clouds as it flows over Mt. Rainer, then the clouds disappear again. An example of a mountain making its own weather.
I think this waterfall is the tallest in the park, not Comet Falls. It falls from Seattle Park down to the Carbon Glacier.
Steve using a rope to get down a trail washout to get to Winthrop Creek. The Park Service put this rope in to help out backpackers on the Wonderland Trail.
Mystic Lake and Old Desolate along the Wonderland Trail. Enjoy the level trail along Mystic Lake while it lasts.
A field of flowers along the Wonderland Trail. The trail and hillsides were strewn with flowers in mid-July.
Mystic Lake and Old Desolate along the Wonderland Trail. A small stream in the foreground flows into Mystic Lake. The stream at the west end of Mystic Lake is a great place to filter water.
Mt. Rainier and the Wonderland Trail. This was taken on the way up to Skyscraper Pass.
Steve using a rope to descend the Wonderland Trail near Winthrop Creek.
Steve crossing Winthrop Creek. It looks like this log could wash out on a hot day. I expect it will disappear in the fall rains.
Mt. Rainier taken from the last switchback in the trees on the way up to Skyscraper Pass. This was a good place to take a break in the shade before climbing up to Skyscraper Pass.
Dropping down from Skyscraper Mountain heading towards Frozen Lake is this field of lupines. This is looking down towards Berkeley Park.
