Hike 9/7 Mount Storm King
Sunrise seen from the ferry, muted by the smoke coming from Oregon fires
Starting out on the trail, going under Highway 101
Beautiful old growth forest, part of the Marymere Falls Trail
The trail character changes abruptly after this sign
Steep forest trail climbing the lower slopes of Storm King
Peek-a-boo views of the lake, now over 1000 feet below us
Arriving at the last rest spot before the rope section
Trail surface was steep and slippery, so ropes helped, especially going down
Looking up the rope route. There was probably about 300 feet or more protected by ropes
A final scramble along a narrow ridge led to the end
Wide angle view shows the drops on either side
Hero shot
Lake Crescent, end to end
Descending
Steep trail
A parting shot of the lake from on high
Lots of madrona trees up there
Back down at the lake, stopped for a quick visit to Lake Crescent Lodge
How the rest of the world has fun
