I'll make this short and sweet. Two days after turning 40 (am I really that old?) I backpacked up to Snowy lakes and Golden Horn. I came in on the PCT trail via Rainy Pass trailhead. Saw some mules, horses and PCT thru hikers. The larch trees were just coming into prime.
Not a bad way to start the downhill 40

Rainy pass trailhead north to cutthroat pass to granite pass to a hitching post below snowy lake trail (not on green trails map). Coming back, I traversed high over towards Mt Hardy hitting the PCT at Methow Pass and back down to rainy pass.

Thanks for the pics. Seeing that the snowy lakes are positioned across from an area which sees much traffic, maple pass, it surprises me that these lakes are unknown to many of the hikers I talk to. I was around 90 percent sure that I would be perceiving golden larches stationed in front of a goldenhorn backdrop this year, but things are looking bleak now.

beautiful photographs, Mania!
Happy belated birthday!
As for turning forty: 40 is the new 30. Also, I hear that 70 is the new 50.
In any event, backpacking and hiking will keep all of us living young forever. 
cheers ! CWall.

I am hoping that 60 is the new 20, but I'm probably stretching it.
