Mount Walker Spring Hike Olympic National Forest

With the forecast of partly cloudy, wanted to revisit Mount Walker to see the views.
 We hiked the 2 mile, 2000 ft elevation gain trail in 70 minutes!
From the Nort View Point, we could see the Olympic Mountains to the Northwest
 and to the Northeast, Quilcene, across Hood Canal and Puget Sound to Mt Baker.
From the South viewpoint, we cold see across the Kitsap Peninsula 
to the Seattle Skyline and to Mt Rainier


On the hike back down the trail we saw this squirrel 

and these Calypso Orchids,
also called Fairy Slippers.
