This overnight trip/hike has been on our to-do list for quite a while and we finally got to complete it. Original plan was to hike into and camp at Burnt Lake, but when we arrived there were only a few sites left and none that really caught our attention. So then we decided to continue on to Cast Lake which ended up being a great call. We ended up doing arou...

Took a few days to take advantage of our lottery permit to the Enchantments. After car camping the night before at nearby Lake Wenatchee SP (crowded - ugh), we left out of the Snow Lakes TH around 10 am and made it to Snow Lakes dam in about 5 hrs. Quite a long, steady, uphill climb. Passed over the dam, and then headed to the far southwest side of the lake ...

Headed out around 9am and headed out at the trailhead around 10am. Went up past Carpenter Lake and connected with the PCT. We ended up taking the middle route up (not heartbreak nor the PCT). It was a beautiful, windy climb...but the loose rocks weren't so great for Wrangell. We made it to the top and had BEAUTIFUL views of fog! Gorgeous. We did take a break...

Beautiful day for a hike up Dog Mtn. Got to the parking early to avoid the crowds. We decided to go up the "most difficult" route and come down the back side/Auspurger Mtn trail to save the legs. Great views of Hood, Adams, and Helens!!!

Had a late start as we had some things to do in the morning so we drove out for an afternoon stroll to Fall Creek Falls. Started out on the lower falls trail -- saw the beautiful, indescribable view of the falls, then went back on the upper falls trail! Wrangell had some fun in the river. Afterwards, we drove to the opposite side of the pass to the Ice Caves...

went for a quick little walk in the woods. It was POURING rain on our way down through Salem, but by the time we got to the trailhead..the rain let up quite a bit. Only saw one other couple on the trail. Nice to get out and see some beautiful blue/green/clear water!

Tried to make it to Ramona Falls - had to cross the river after all the high floods and had to break trail through the knee-deep snow (sans snowshoes). Had to turn back about .25 from the falls :( End of the trail and we didn't realize how close we were. Beautiful weather and Wrangell loved every minute of it! Great spot to stop and picnic in the middle of t...
