Glacier Peak, located in the North Cascades of Washington State is the name sake for the 500,000 acre Glacier Peak Wilderness.
Thee images are from the Liberty Cap spur trail, near Buck Creek Pass.
Just back from Glacier Peak Wilderness, traveled in and out via Spider Meadows.
My brain goes into sensory overload when I see all those colors! I love it!
I have seen more flowers, and denser stands of flowers elsewhere, but never such a varied array at once.
Purple, yellow, white, red and green, it was awesome!
Trying to capture the scene is not easy! I just started, took a few steps and kept shooting, each viewpoint offering a different scene.
Last August I hiked the Spider Meadow – Buck Creek Pass Loop.
Spider Meadows, Glacier Peak Wilderness
What a glorious hike!
We started at Spider Meadows,
And ended the trip at Buck Creek Pass.
Glacier Peak
We arrived at the Pass early in the day and waited for the sun to cool off a bit before we ascended the slopes of Liberty Cap and scouted for a place to camp with a view of Glacier Peak. This image is from that night.
The next morning before sunrise we made our way south along the ridge line, heading for High Pass.
The views of Glacier Peak were magnificent. sumptuous wildflowers and greener than green meadows invited us to relax and breathe in the air.
The Glacier Peak Wilderness, located in the North Cascades of Washington State, is one of the lower 48’s most remote wilderness areas.
