Snow Mountain Ranch

I hiked up Cowiche Mtn this afternoon from the Rocky Top trailhead. My plan was to take late-in-the-day photos of Mt Cleman with wildflowers &/or boulders in the foreground. The flowers became very nice about half way up, especially the balsamroot, lupine, & buckwheat, but the wind was howling so photography was out. Once on top the wind died down a little & I got a couple of photos and met up with a group of Cascadians who had come up from the Snow Mtn Ranch trailhead to watch the full moon rise. As per our plan, I walked down with them & got a ride back to my truck.
