Awesome panoramas, it's clear how much you love this area! I always wanted to go to the Vahallas, they seem incredibly remote and un-visited.

You mention how important it is to stay dry. I generally agree, but find in practice that working my way up some damp forested valley I will surely get wet from sweating. Maybe another way to think of it is to say stay warm. I strip down as much as possible for the uphill hiking, and would keep some warm, dry clothing in a plastic bag in my pack. If I get caught in a rainstorm, I might even decide to keep walking out without putting on the warm clothes until I really need it. It's nice to keep the "insurance" safe until real need comes along, such as getting hurt and I can't stay warm from activity any more.

Then again you hear stories about people becoming hypothermic and a little crazy - maybe they were also thinking to keep their stuff dry in their pack.

You have a really wonderful collection of panoramas put together here. I always remind myself that I didn't make the mountains, I only point my camera and push a button. But take a moment to be proud of what you've captured with these. Well done.

Ok, so I've had very little to do for the last week and I've been re-looking at many of your pictures remembering the trip we took. As soon as I am done with school here in Michigan, I'm going back to the NW and never leaving :)

Good choice Brandon!:) Although I'm going to India for several years when I graduate I will also come back to the NW soon.

Well, I haven't even been up to the Blue Glacier, so you are pretty lucky:) Hope you get a chance to explore more, especially up the Dosewallips River area or the LaCrosse Basin. Thanks for the comment.

Bubba SuessGreat Page...

Voted 10/10

You definately own the Olympics and your love for the area is apparent. Good photography too. Not that you need any, I have one suggestion for an addition to the page: you might note that not only is there a national park covering the bulk of the Olympics but here is also a small army of wilderness areas hovering around the park's border. A minor detail, but it feeds my taxonomy OCD. Again, good page!
