There have been several recent reports on this hike, with great photos, so all we need to add is that the fall color is exploding! We loved this hike! It starts at 3800 ft., and the steep trail quickly gets you into the high country. up.gif Lots of people on the trail today.

BTW, the book gives directions via Lake Wenatchee, but when coming from the west the Smith-Brook road is a much faster choice. The road (RS 6700) is in good shape. up.gif

I always enjoy your great photos, smile.gif but Lupe is quite the scene-stealer (see Bob and Lupe pic winksmile.gif). You better have a word with him.

Yes, Lupe is precious and a real daddy's girl. She is the only blonde that Bob is allowed to hang out with. smile.gif

Nice color! up.gif It was a beautiful day yesterday, seems like lots of people were out and about enjoying the short weather window we were treated to - on a weekend no less!

I love that basin. I've only been there in the spring with snow. This looks even better.

That area is terrific in fall. Glad you got out there to enjoy it.
