Today we traveled to the Cascade Mountains up to Snoqualmie Pass to hike at Denny Creek. This morning was a more typical day in the Pacific Northwest, rainy and overcast with temperatures in the sixties. Up in the mountains, there is still snow at the higher elevations, even in June, go figure.
We first drove up to Snow Lake Trailhead and hiked up to see a couple of waterfalls higher up but there was still snow that high and fresh snow at 4,000 feet. So we wandered down to the Franklin Falls trailhead and hiked up to the waterfall. Orso wanted to get into the river and splash around, but the current was way too fast and hard, we would have had to chase him all the way to the ocean.
We found cabins in the woods right on the river, talk about isolated. All in all we are getting to see things we never had back in the Midwest.

WHOA—ALL THAT WATER FALLING! AREN’T PARTS OF WASHINGTON STATE RAIN FOREST?
How does Orso take to all his new adventures? Hope he likes the change as much as you two seem to 🙂
He is enjoying the sights and new dogs he gets to meet
Gorgeous shots!
Thank you and thank you for reading and taking a look.
