Naches Loop Revisited

 Too long since we had a real hike.  


Starting at Chinook Pass

Looking east from the loop trail



One of many snowfields to cross



Waterfalls, flowers and solitude



Magenta Indian Paintbrush

A tarn from the snow melt


Looking south


Dewey Lake from the Pacific Crest Trail


Happy to be in the high country


One view from our lunch spot



So nice to see blooming fragrant bear grass....


....and pretty penstemon right in the parking lot


Have enjoyed this trail many times.  Here is what it looked like the last time, in November 2018


And then way back in 2014
