We headed out for a bunch of little hikes among the peaks of the Lassics, which tend to feature in the minds of the outdoorsy locals because they can be seen from so many places.

I struggled along what was once a good road to a removed fire lookout. This was the Mount Lassic Lookout, but it was actually on the side of Goat Hill with a view of Mount Lassic. Blog post here: https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/06/mount-lassic-lookout-and-goat-hill.html

One road open, one not, but getting to these seasonal ponds was a mix of #hike and thrash with a surprising number of violets found along the way.

A hike in search of #wildflowers, so I may have gone a little overboard showing them. However, I was looking for one specific flower and none of them are it! The search comes with a nice peak.
