I'm sharing some photos and text from hiking in Washington state. I live out here now, but am originally from Maine and spent most of my life hiking the mountains of Maine and New Hampshire. I post infrequently here.

Camp Muir- April 22, 2012

The goal since I moved out here 2 years ago has been to summit Rainier. I got closer this year.

Deception Creek- June 9, 2012

During the summer, I volunteer as a wilderness ranger in the Skykomish District of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. It's a nice break from the office job. Unfortunately it begins in Junuary. Snow persists as it soaks in the cold rain.

Teanaway Ridge- June 24, 2012

Not every trip was a Skykomish excursion. Sometimes I visited east of the Crest.

West Fork Foss Lakes- July 21-22, 2012

This was one of three trips for me up the Foss. The themes would be spectacular views, cleaning up trash, putting out campfires, asking people to put their dogs on leashes, digging toilet holes, performing light trail maintenance, and handing out wilderness permits.

It was a nice consolation prize.

The wrong way.

End of summer.

Ancient Lakes- December 1, 2012

Even in winter, there's a lot of diversity to explore.

Now hopefully I've earned good karma for another thread I am going to post.
 
Thanks for posting those pics. Have been in a couple of those spots myself.
 
Oh, there is a lot more. You've merely scratched the surface. :] I've only scratched a little bit more.
