This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act. Washington State is blessed with more than 30 Wilderness Areas, one of which is the Goat Rocks Wilderness.
The Pacific Crest Trail passes through the Goat Rocks crossing some of the most stunning terrain along the trail in Washington.
Here are a few images from the Goat Rocks Wilderness.

These are just wonderful and make me marvel at the beauty of nature!
Thank you! Wilderness Areas are much needed and fantastic places to experience true wonder.
You’re welcome. Your photos are framed so beautifully. I really loved the post today and my favorite was the one where the row of flowers were a leading line with the mountain in the background. Just gorgeous!
Wonderful mountains….the plants are different from the one we have in the Italian Dolomites….
Different, in what way? Where can I see images of native flora from your neck of the woods?
different colours, different kind of plants…I like a lot the one u published,,,,our plants are from the Italian dolomites…I don’t have picture of that, but u will find it in internet :9
Absolutely stunning. I dream of the PCT, and wonder… Your pictures have brought it more alive than ever. Thank you.
