Tinkham Tarns

We drove up to Windy Pass from Hyak on FR 9070 to hike south on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) to Tinkham Tarns, 5 miles round trip with about 1,000 ft of overall gain. This morning we had a beautiful hike through the forest in the fog.
We found ripe huckleberries to eat along the way.
Some of the small ponds we saw along the trail
We took the side trail to the boulder field below Tinkaham Tarns, hiking and scrambling up on the left side of the boulder field, photo as we neared the top of the boulder field

The clouds were beginning to lift on our hike back to Windy Pass, a view between the trees
