Pictures 1 -2: As we hiked the Hurricane Hill Trail on Hurricane Ridge, Madeleine was able to get a couple of good pictures of the Olympic Range before the weather shut down.
Picture 3: Our string of good luck for great photo opportunities on our hikes ran out at the top of the hike. Here is the view into the void.
Picture 4: However, we were rewarded in a different way. As we sat on a log eating our lunch, a small buck followed by his mother sauntered to within 20 feet of us, contentedly and fearlessly munching on some favorite greens. Madeleine was in position at just the right instant for this one.
Picture 5: Beautificul fields of wildflowers along the trail. We saw lots of them in Mt. Ranier NP as well, making up for our disappointment at being too earlier for the wildflowers at Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite.
