Visit to the methow valley 6/29-7/1 Driveway Butte and Gizzley mountain Highlights 1. Rain: sun ratio 1: 10 2. Cinnamon colored Bear on trail ( It was frightened by my singing confused.gif ) 3. Burnt forest re-growth 4. Scrambling Grizzly with no path 5. The squashed banana- tenderly carried to the summit by hand and then accidentally trodden on Oh ....and there were some not so bad views

Beautiful pictures. Was the trail to Driveway Butte snow free?

Not a snowflake of snow on the trail. snow bank seen in the pics was on the other side of the mountain, and provided some silly fun, but no hiking challenges a wonderful early summer cruise in the high country

This view is looking up Robinson Creek between Last Chance and Scramble. The snow covered mountains at the end of the canyon are Robinson Mtn and Beauty Peak.

If you were plunge over the south side of Driveway Butte and bushwhack down you would arrive at Beyond Lost just on the east side of Scramble. Thanks for the pics. up.gif Did you see the bear heading up to Driveway Butte?
