Looking westward at Hurricane Ridge and the Bailey Range
Obstruction Point foreground with Mount Olympus behind
Golden grasses on the high Elk Mountain slopes
Mount Olympus fills the horizon behing the Obstruction Point Trailhead.
Heading cross-country on the alpine tundra toward the top of Elk Mountain
Miles of views
The Needles group in the distance
Stalking the perfect flower photo
Hiking on the roof of the Olympics
Clouds dancing on the ridge
Marmot playing peek-a-boo
Krummholz formation around the stunted alpine firs
We were up there!
