+Blue Power Ranger Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I just took two of my kids (9 & 13) backpacking to Goat Lake & Snowgrass Flats in Washington State's Goat Rocks Wilderness Area 8/30/08 - 8/31/08. Nothing like hiking in a little snow in August to keep you humble. Quote Link to comment

Nothing like hiking in a little snow in August to keep you humble. "Hiking in a little snow" and "hiking WHILE it's snowing" in August... two TOTALLY different things!! We've seen snow every time we've been out this summer, but have yet to have it fall while hiking. Soon, I'm sure! GREAT pictures! michelle Quote Link to comment

+Deermark Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 What a wonderful array of places we cachers have been. Here is my addition to the gallery. We were in the Medicine Bow NF outside of Laramie Wyoming. GC14FJD was the cache we were heading to. It is now my favorite cache hunt. Many thanks to WY82331 for the excellent hide.

I've taken lessons from some great hikers in this area including CurmudgeonlyGal and the two things I've taken to heart is to walk your own pace and take plenty of breaks. If you feel like you can't make it, you're pushing too hard. But don't worry, I won't take you on anything you can't handle. Quote Link to comment

+StephenTravels Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) All these pics are awesome! I've been looking for a thread like this for a while now. Here's a few from an overnight trip a few friends and I took back in September. It's at Lake Ann in between Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan in Washington State. One of the many creek crossings along the trail. Mount Baker Lower Curtis Glacier on Mount Shuksan Lake Ann--we were camped at the far end. Cairns Boulder field along a ridge adjacent to the lake. We climbed up there to watch the sunset Alpenglow on Mount Shuksan The only bear we saw. The next day we hiked all the way up to the glacier--definitely worth the extra effort to get there! Picture Lake, taken on the drive back home. Edited October 10, 2008 by tsunami_KNUW Quote Link to comment

+Radnord Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Great shots of a lot of great places. I particularly loved the one's of the Goat Rocks Wilderness area. That is an awesome place to hike. Although some parts of the trail are not for the feint of heart. Hey Kit Fox, do we really need petty partisan political rhetoric on this forum? Let's stick to hiking and caching! Quote Link to comment
+Team Laxson Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 It took me two trips to find this cache, but the trips were more for the hikes than the cache. First Trip: 10.12.08 View looking back towards parking: Fresh snow made the air crisp and clean: View from the summit: I went back up yesterday with a completely different view from the top: 10.19.08 View of Meeker and Longs Peak: Beautiful view at the cache site: Quote Link to comment

Drewboy64 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Man, all these pictures are awesome This is us around a campfire at a campsite in Yellowstone, near the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone From left to right is me, my cousin, my brother and my neighbor. We were backpacking our way into a backcountry campsite by Phelps Lake in the grand tetons. These are some amazing clouds we saw after a small shower in Shenandoah national park. We were at this small clearing, and we just looked up and took a bunch of pictures. This is at Hocking Hills State Park in ohio. very cool park with amazing scenery. And this old guy is a mountain man named Black George who was at the trailhead leading to our Phelps Lake campsite in the grand tetons. He gives all his visitors a rootbeer floats and tells a lot of awesome stories. This dude has lived life. Edited August 7, 2009 by Drewboy64 Quote Link to comment

+MissJenn Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 This is Annette Lake in Washington State. Many geocachers hike a part of the Annette Lake Trail in search of the Project A.P.E. cache "Tunnel of Light." Many never go all the way up to the top of that trail where this gem awaits any who choose to spend another hour or two on the trail. I highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment
