Dirty Harry

This weekend, though I have not done enough hiking training this summer, I set out on a very hot day to summit Dirty Harry Peak.

Seems like AT&T signal should be good around here

Though some trees

A small, easy to miss, cairn that is the different between the easy and hard hikes

The view of I-90 from a brief break in the trees

More trees

The heat and sun isn’t stopping this slug

Though it was a hot summer day the wild flowers were in bloom

More trees

Following the old logging road mean that we were in the sun wishing for the trees

The valley on the other side of the mountain as seen from the peak

On the long way down

Bonus: A fuzzy bee on a wild flower

This weekend I did my first hike of the season to the beautiful Lake Twentytwo. There was still some snow on Mt. Pilchuck and the waters of the lake were clear and ice cold. Overall a very nice hike.

Our last day in Zion we booked an adventure to go into the wilderness for some rock climbing and canyoneering. Climbing in the morning until our arms were to sore to go up the rock walls, we then headed into the canyons, learn how to rapel and squeeze through tight places. After the adventure there was just enough sunlight left to back into Zion proper and do the easy Emerald Pools trail getting one last look at the beautiful landscape before we leave the next morning.
