What a welcome to Washington. This clear cut is worse than the one in California. And they route us right through it. It seemed a lot longer than 1/4 mile, too.


Mount Adams - the next in the chain of volcanoes.


Checking out the huckleberries in the Huckleberry Fields. We ate several cups a day. It sounded like every one else did too. There were still millions left. I know why the bears didn't bother the hikers in Washington.


We found several groups camped in the area around Killen Creek. Here it cascades down the hill into the meadow.


Marcia starts across the glaciers. This was a bit scary. The night before it had gotten a skiff of snow on the ice of the glacier.

Marcia follows the trail down the edge at Goat Rocks. If you look closely you can see the trail follows the narrow crest clear across these peaks.


More of the crest at Goat Rocks.

That snow in the background below the clouds is Mount Rainier. Every time we came to the crest our guidebook said Mt Rainier dominated the area. Well, Mt Rainier met its match with the Washington fog and rain. This may be the best picture we got of Rainier. Ken began calling it "Mount Rainy-er".


After we got off the glacier and crest of Goat Rocks we saw a rainbow. That cheered us up after a gloomy, tough afternoon.


The next morning the trail into White Pass was better. The rain held off until we got there too.
