It is, the last of it there. There is much more on some of the taller peaks.

It gets very hot on the peak in the daytime sun, but cools way down at night. The day of the photo the air temp was right at 50ºF and there was a 20 mph wind so a jacket felt very good.

That mountain is exceptional because its top is taller than any other within at least ten miles in any direction. The elevation of the valley below is 2400 feet and the peak is 7400 feet.

Wow, what a spectacular view.
I’d have lunch in that spot every day of the summer if I could.

I make that hike at least three times each summer. It’s always very pretty and always different.

I never tire of seeing that view. On the way back down I could see a rain storm pass to the west at about the same elevation as I was.

What a beautiful spot. I wonder if that snow will melt before more falls.

Yes, those snow banks will melt before much more comes. On the taller mountains like the Mission Mountains about 50 miles from there the snow is still deep and will last until next winter.

Beautiful view. What time do you have to start hiking to get there on time for a noon reservation? Any wild berries available for dessert for lunch?

It takes me about two hours to get to the top, just moseying along and taking pictures. There are huckleberries up there, but they are not quite ripe yet. The bears are anxious!

I’ve heard that there are small trout in the lake but I haven’t fished it myself. I love stream fishing but I’m lousy at lake fishing.

You can take a small spinning rod, tie a fly bobber on it (the cone shaped ones) tie about 3 feet of leader/tippet and tie your dry fly to the end. The bobber gives you the weight to cast and then just reel it in slowly. That’s how I catch the fish in the higher mountain lakes. It’s also how to catch fish in Fishtrap lake if you ever get to go there.

It provides an entirely different perspective. I find that all of those other cares and concerns leave immediately when I start up a trail like that. The wild country demands one’s complete attention.

That’s why I travel so slowly on those high trails, just to take it all in. And it’s also good to know at such times that your closest company is of another species.

I really like the way the gray in the clouds and the mountains complement one another. Because the clouds look wintery to me, and the flowers are abloom along the bottom of the photo, it’s as though you’ve captured a whole year in one photo.

There are elements of all four seasons, aren’t there. The tan colors in the far valley are from summer grasses that have already turned brown. The sun was warm, the wind was cold and there was rain in those clouds. What more could you ask for?
