Return to Kendall Katwalk

Today seemed like a fine day to return to the iconic Kendall Katwalk

The Katwalk

The whole hike is on the PCT

Plenty of fall color already

Once the trail finally emerges from the forest, there is this giant scree field to cross

Mt. Rainier shimmering in the haze

Emerging from the scree field

The trail is well into the high country now

Looking back on Red Mountain

Still climbing

Surrounding Cascade Peaks

Getting higher

 

And higher

Let the Katwalk begin

Red Mountain from the katwalk

Coming down the Katwalk

And around to the other side

Looking back

Mt. Stuart in the way distance

Getting ready to go back across

Only in Washington

One last shot

And here is a shot from last summer with more snow in the background

Not just more snow last year, but less haze

Great classic Washington hike.  Thanks, Keith, for everything.
