Mount Dickerman

This week's hike was to the peak of Mt. Dickerman; in Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The wonderful summer heat has done a number on the snow, and left us with some luscious alpine meadows.


View from 5723-feet! so many peaks!!!



On the other side of the saddle! even more peaks!


 And the instagrammed square crop

Wilderness

So my summer challenge is to do one hike per week. In the four weeks that have passed, I've gone on two. I missed two hikes due to a frisbee tournament, and another hike due to food poisoning. I'll have to make up those two hikes in the upcoming weeks.

I've wanted to hike in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness for a long time, but for some reason have put it off. I made the trek up to Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest yesterday and boy, was it worth it! I'll have to visit some of the other lakes, or try to nab a permit for the Enchantment Area at some point...


Valley views from granite domes were reminiscent of Yosemite.

To this! I headed out to Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest for a hike that I've been wanting to do for a while.

^Bridal Veil Falls, and some rando that got in my shot...


^Lake Serene, beneath the towering spires of Mt. Index.


^I got going after the sun passed over the cliffs.

The Leegans!

Another reason for my previous trip was to attend and shoot my friend's wedding!

Flying into OAK provided great views of the Bay Area



Libby and Chris!






Wedding photos are tiring!
