Now this is why I hike!

Olympic National Park - High Ridge Loop Trail ONP's "royalty": on the left in the snows is the Mt. Olympus group and on the right side with its glaciers is Mt. Carrie I believe. Taken August 2009

Re: Nice Panorama!

I totally agree! To come down from the ridge and see this view makes even a simple 1 mile hike spectacular!

I really enjoyed your Hawksbill shots. That was my fav place to hike in high school; still holds a special place in my memories!

I can see clearly now,

the clouds are gone!

That's the East, Middle and West Peaks of
Olympus. The West peak is highest.

Yes, that's Carrie towering over the Hoh Valley. What a view!

A person could spend an entire lifetime in
the Olympic Range, and still not see every
mountain, lake and basin.

Re: I can see clearly now,

Very approriate song lyric for this pic!

You are so right about ONP. What an amazing national park and uncrowded even in the middle of August.
