Winchester Mountain - July, 28 2010

For my money there are no better views in the North Cascades for effort expended than Winchester Mountain. However lingering snow turned the normally easy hike into a scramble as we had to climb up and around a steep snowfield. It was worth the extra effort as the weather was perfect.

Mt.Shuksan appears between the twin summits of Goat Mtn.

Ettie enjoys her lunch break.

Twin Lakes still had some lingering ice.

Tomyhoi Peak and Lake

Larrabee and the Border Peaks were close by.
