Leathaineach abhaile / Northern Loop 2009 Photos WA 131
The ranger cabin for Lake James. This is a ways above the lake. The cabin got a new roof and luckily wasn't damaged from winter storms. Nearby trees were not so lucky and dozens were blown down in a tangled mess.
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 meadow near the cabin was covered in tree trunks and branches.
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.

Natural Bridge with Lake Ethel in the background.
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.
Mt. Rainier is the white mass in back of Sluiskin Mountain. A sloping field of avalanche lillies decorate the nearby hillside.
Sluiskin Mountain looms across the valley of Van Horn Creek.
A small meltwater pond reflects a bit of the Cresent Mountains near Windy Gap on the Northern Loop Trail.

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.
