Hopefully, we’ve got less than a month to go before winter has got Washington’s mountains in an unbeatable deathgrip. But until that beautiful day, it’s time to explore!
With a break in the endless downpour of the last few days, Dan, Jason, and I found ourselves on the Northwest side of the Olympics dreaming of falling freezing levels and trying to imagine the alpine with just a little more snow on it.
After an 8-mile trek during which much future shreddage was scoped, we entered Royal Basin under a cloudy sky. We didn’t take many photos, but the ones we do have show how great the colors are, even if there isn’t quite enough snow quite yet. Enjoy! Photo credit to Dan.
