Hike 10/19 Mountain Lake Loop - Orcas Island


Smoky air made for moody-looking scene at the Anacortes Ferry Terminal


Scenery from the ferry. Visibility only 1/2 mile or so, but it got better


Arriving at Mountain Lake on Orcas Island, very hazy


Scenes from the trail around the lake




This heron was right next to the trail when we startled it, and it flew out to a safer distance


A sharp eye can see the heron flying away






After the walk around the lake, visibility had noticable improved.
