Zach crossing a log bridge over the Carbon River on the way to Ipsut Campground.
Yellowstone Cliffs just west of Windy Gap on the Northern Loop Trail.
Van Horn Creek flows down a small waterfall into the meadow new the Lake James ranger cabin.
These plants with pink flowers look like a giant version of Dutchman's Breeches (Latin name: Corydalis scouleri). They grow 5 to 6 feet high along the trail between Carbon River Camp and Ipsut Campground on the west side of Carbon River.
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.
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.
Steve enjoying the view above Windy Gap. Tyee Peak is in the background. This was taken from the overlook of Cresent Lake.
Standing at the overview of Crescent Lake looking at the Crescent Mountains and Mt. Rainier peeking out near Windy Gap.
Snow on the Northern Loop trail near Windy Gap. The trail drops down and soon enters the forest on either side of Windy Gap.
Sluiskin Mountain looms across the valley of Van Horn Creek.
Our campsite at Lake James Camp along the Northern Loop Trail at Mt. Rainier National Park. We had the camp to ourselves this night. There was still a bit of snow by the bear pole in late July.
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.
Looking up at Cresent Mountain from above Windy Gap. Cresent Lake is below this ridge on the right.
