This moderate hike was to see the Easton Glacier on the south side of Mt Baker, about 75 miles north of Seattle, on a cool summer day.

Great fall colors... and mushrooms.  Gets my vote for the best fall hike around.

An out-and-back with Steve to Jade Lake (left), a wonderful glacial-fed lake we had all to ourselves.  And it was huckleberry season, too... yum!
 

This hike that Brian and I did took us along the Sol Duc loop, with tons of wildflowers and wonderful vistas.  We even saw an Olympic marmot!

This time, it's to the high country near Mammoth Mountain.

A great hike to see wildflowers and enjoy the scenery near Salinas on the central coast of California.

We took a short walk through the exotic South African and Australian plants here...

This still is the most fantastic adventure--incredible scenery, great food, remote wilderness... and a sense of 'why don't more people come down here!  It's magnificent!'  We spent two weeks exploring Santiago, the Lakes district, and Patagonia, and want to go back and see more!

Jack, Dr Rocks, and I head out to the High Sierras, a few hours drive east of San Jose in northern California.

Not a hike, per se... but after one of the rainiest El Ni�o winters, Death Valley wildflowers were blooming everywhere.  We took a roadtrip in the trusty Pathfinder to see them with a few buddies from LA.

An old backpacking trip to the same place we went to in 1998--Graveyard Lakes and Peter Pande Lake, in the Silver Divide country of the Sierras.
