Alaska
Since 2006 I have been visiting a different place in Alaska each year, and hope to continue doing so.
2006: Wrangel/St Elias NP, Seward, and Valdez
2007: Homer and Kachemak Bay State Park
From the Seven Lakes Basin turnoff, it is a short mile to the pass where you cross the High Divide and head down, down down into the Hoh Valley.
A set of high tarns on the west side of the High Divide
Looking northwest at row after row of the Olympic Mountains
A big marmot was not very shy
A ridge that cuts off from the High Divide
Mt. Olympus, front and center, from the High Divide
Mt. Olympus towers over the Hoh Valley far below
A closeup of one of Mt. Olympus' peaks
We were heading down into the Hoh Valley, but another trail stays high along the High Divide from the pass
I did a side hike a short distance to a nice spot on the ridge
More views of Mt. Olympus as we start to descend
Back to Seven Lakes Basin or continue to Down, down, down to the Hoh
