This afternoon we hiked south along the Pacific Crest Trail from Snoqualmie Pass to Lodge Lake and back, 4 miles round trip with 950 ft of overall gain. We saw lots of wildflowers, especially on the open ski slopes. Beautiful day!
We enjoyed seeing the wildflowers in bloom in the open meadow, with Snoqualmie Mountain and Guye Peak in the background.
Lots of paintbrush growing amidst the ferns on the upper slopes.
Red, orange and
yellow paintbrush.
Another view of Snoqualmie Mountain and Guye Peak before the trail entered the forest.
Beaver Lake, north end and
the south end of Beaver Lake.
Lots of greenery in the forest along the shelf fungi on downed trees.
Lodge Lake, nice place for a break before heading back.some of the wildflowers we saw along the trail this afternoon:
