Lost Lake, taken from the summit of Noble Knob
Noble Knobb is a relatively easy hike. A few hills, but with enough platues to even it out. It was a very cloudy day as we started out walking toward the summit. Even being socked in with the clouds it was still a beautiful hike, very peaceful and quite with lots of blooming wildflowers and strawberry plants. Although we couldn't see much because of the cloud coverage we could hear the elk in the not so far distance, bugaling as we sat and had lunch at the summit. We decided we had better head back as the wind had picked up and it was getting colder. We were afraid the weather was taking a turn for the worse. As soon as we got our packs back on we noticed the wind had actually started blowing the clouds away and we suddenly realized the views before us.... Although we never did get to see Mt. Rainier we were able to see the other ridges across from the summit, green meadows and pristine lakes.
We even found that herd of elk...
Highly reccomend this hike and I'll definately be back, hopefully on a clear day.
