Hike 10/3 Klahhane Ridge- Olympic National Park
We hiked the Switchback Trail, so named for the 27 switchbacks you ascend on the 1600-foot climb to the ridge
Mount Olympus and the center of the Olympic range was out in all its glory
Reaching the crest of Klahhane Ridge, greeted by a deck of low clouds to the north
Roaming along the ridge at over 6000 feet
Mount Angeles, with its characteristic layers of rock
Panning the horizon from the top
Clouds creep around the corner of Rocky Peak
Mount Baker in view in the distance, 90+ miles away
Checking out the trail as it drops toward Lake Angeles
At our turnaround point, surveying the high country
