Mount Townsend — Friday, Jul. 23, 2010

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal
I must be living right! Was able to enjoy the top and all the views in solitude for an hour with the pup-she was more than happy to rest and watch the chipmunks. Views were incredible with all the major mountains in plain view: Rainier, Helens, Adams, Glacier, and Baker. At first they were above the cloud layer and then that lifted to include views of the sound. 360 degrees of beauty! Little snowfields were still present in a few places alongside the trail which the pup enjoyed cooling off in and sliding. Quite a few flowers in bloom: rhodies, phlox, paintbrush, and so many others. Beautiful baby blue butterflies, and a hummingbird added to the event.
