Craters of The Moon National Monument - August 3, 2016

Our visit here was an unanticipated side trip on our way to Driggs. It was worth the stop. Although there are no craters the volcanic landscape is indeed other-worldly.

The view atop Inferno Cone was impressive.

Dirtyface Mountain - July 31, 2016

Our plan to circumvent the lower portion of the trail by approaching from primitive logging roads on Pole Ridge was not executed to perfection. However, it did turn into a most excellent adventure nonetheless.

"Trail?..., We don't need no stinking trail."


"Drew, you're almost there." 







Lake Wenatchee was a stunning sight below us.
