i skipped out on a hike to baldy/tyler and decided on hiking up the switchback trail to klahhane ridge and going beyond....to heather pass and first top. i've done this hike several times but the section i wanted to show debbie are the views from first top. well, i think it's first top embarassedlaugh.gif so someone correct me. hubby followed us to the parking lot behind the toll station and they drove us to the switchback trail trail head. we would be doing at least 7.5 miles today. anyway, up up up with no one on the trail. we get to victor pass and then it's down down down then up up up...across to heather pass and up to first top where we stayed for at least an hour. the views were outstanding! we can see mt olympus, mt. carrie, and other peaks, victoria, bc, canada, port angeles, sequim valley/dungeness spit, and mt. baker...a gorgeous day indeed up.gif then it was down down down to the parking lot. still no one on the trail except for mr. goat who was lazily ignoring us!
a few photos from today's wonderful hike. a fantastic autumn hike in the olympics! cool.gif

That is a nice area but it's not enough like the SE Olys for me to want to visit it too often.

I think I saw that same goat this summer when I was heading up to the switch back trail from the Lake Angeles Trail.
