Walla Walla Library, WA
A waterfall [Silver Falls?] along the road back to the Ohanapecosh Campground.
A glimpse of the top of Mt Rainier [over the top of the Whitman Crest?] on the first clear day in a couple of weeks; taken from WA123 while driving north toward Cayuse & Chinook Passes on WA410.
As a guess, Shriner Peak (elev: 5834').
Another peek at the top of Mt Ranier.
At last, a clearer view between the trees.
A much-more wide-open view of Mt R.
Ski area in the trees to the right? Naw. It's an avalance path.
Waterfall visible from WA123 near the only tunnel between Ohanaceposh and the two passes on WA410
Several small trilliums along the left side of theroad just above the aforementioned tunnel.
A closeup of a trillium, which is the Ohio State wildflower.
Probably the best view of Mount Ranier towering above the White River.
Thought this shot was better than the one above, but zoomed in too much.
Zooming back out....
Seymour Peak (elev: 6337') from the parking area just below Chinook Pass.
Panning left....
Rainier Fork of the American River below WA410, the Mather Memorial Highway.
Panning slightly right....
From further down WA410 looking back at Chinook Pass with Seymour Peak on the left.
Incidentally, when I took a photo of two female bikers (pedal-type) just below the pass as evidence that they indeed had made it, thought it must have been a rather steep climb; however, as you can see, it's a long, steady climb.
My rig blends in rather well with the east-side snow.
