Hike 7/9 Hyas Lake
Picture perfect morning at Gold Creek Pond
View of Gold creek Pond from the trail that circles it
Lovely waters of the pond-- a former gravel pit!
Arriving at the Hyas Lake trail
Meadows full of wildflowers begin long before you even begin the hike
Cathedral Rock peeking above a low ridge
Hyas Lake from the eastern shore
Lynch Peak above Hyas Lake
Indian Thistle
From the far north end of the long narrow lake. Looking right down the Cle Elum River valley
Elephant Head, a rarely-seen wildflower
Pano of the northern lake shore
Pushing through brushy trail to see the lake views
Lots of butterflies
Cathedral Rock soaring above the lake
Tiger lily
View of the acres of flower meadows carpeting the Cle Elum River valley
