Amaya decided that she was missing out on some of the season's great backpacking ops, so with a cold but sunny forecast, we ventured up to Hart's Pass (Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest). Its the highest point one can drive in Washington State. We left the vehicle, followed the Pacific Crest Trail North and took in some incredible vistas of the North Cascade National Park to the West, South, and the 90 mile wide Pasayten Wilderness Area to the East.
Showing their defiance for authority, the Busby-Frey blondes
at Large.
Amaya on the trail again. She packed her very own backpack full of stuffed teddys, power sweet-treats, and water.
A new past time -- chuckin' thermarest.
Tent Time. This tent actually matched the seasonal colors... stylish eh?
A tamarak (Larch) performs dayglow in the sun.
Here is the view Southwest from the top of Tamarak Peak into the North Cascades... so many mountains, such a short life.
Pickin' huckleberries galore. We had a tube of peanut butter, making for instant PBJs.
There's the goodies! We hit the jackpot in a year with few berry patches.
Taking a break in that huckleberry sweetened Autumn sun, savoring cool shade from glowing Larches. Autumn Fire: Harts Pass High Point.
