Lake Janus and Grizzly Peak, Smithbrook — Sunday, Oct. 3, 2010

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - East

3 campsites were occupied last night. The stars were awesome! However, fog came in sometime while we were sleeping and the sun stayed behind clouds most of today. While having breakfast we had our only wildlife sighting of the week-end! We think it was a pine marten. We saw it coming from the lake and across our campsite 3 different times with something in its mouth. We saw it come back to the lake 2 times returning with its catch! Too quick for pictures! After breaking camp we did a short walk along the east side of the lake. The grasslands were very wet and marshy, but the fall colors here were very nice as the berry leaves were still intact. The leaves near our campsite were mostly gone and the color dull.
