Patterson Mountain - May 5, 2016

We got an early start, for us, hitting the trail at about 6:50 AM, This turned out to be a much more interesting and diverse walk than we imagined from just looking at Patterson Mountain from the road. This was an excellent time of year as we were able to experience wildflowers in abundance.
 The balsamroot and lupine seemed like they ere on steroids.


 The trail began at the Patterson Lake boat ramp. The lake was placid.

 Kay pauses to enjoy the view of the lake and up the Methow Valley.

After the hike we enjoyed a great breakfast at Sun Mountain Lodge.
