"Every scenery is different, tinged with autumn lights and colors. When the path climbs, it crosses an alpine forest, leaving the rainforest down in the valley. Higher up some lakes are appearing, perfect links between the woods and the alpine meadows."

I was in the Olympic National Park earlier in the week hiking/backpacking the Royal Basin trail. Two nights camping in one of the most beautiful places I've been. I got up earlier enough both mornings to catch the sunrises. The first photo is looking back from the Upper Basin towards the meadow and down the valley. The second one is from the way out from Royal Lake as the sun came over the ridge to shine on the mountains on the other side.

This weekend was just stunning around here. Took the opportunity to do some #snowshoeing up on 📍 Hurricane Ridge, Olympic NP, WA.

I love the Pacific Northwest and have booked a summer trip with a friend to ring in his 50th year on this blue marble in space. He has never been to the PacNW. Here are some photos at Olympic National Park at Hurricane Ridge. Will be heading to Central Cascades area.
