We recently took our first camping trip of the season. We’ve been planning/hoping/threatening to head to the east side of the Cascade Mountains almost as long as we’ve lived in Sequim. This year we sat down with a calendar and declared that the time was right in late May.
Though we had the time set aside, the route and specific destinations were fuzzy. A week before we left we pulled out a road map, two camp guides, and fired up Google Earth. In about an hour we had a plan. This is not my usual style. I’m a capital “P” Planner.
We were headed for the drier side of Washington but traveled up the wet side of the Cascades to get there. These shots are from Deception Falls near Stevens Pass. The first shot is the Tye River. The next two are rainforest scenes…appropriate since it was – yes – raining.
Lucky you. Just the kind of places I like to explore.
What a trip that must have been. Those last two photos surely look like a very very wet place! I was in the Cascades in 1980 but never got to the east side. Hope we’ll see lots more of the photos from your trip.
A magical sort of landscape. Beautiful photos!
Always enjoy the creative titles given to some of our natural wonders. Top photo is really spectacular.
Sure qualifies as the wet side.
