2019-08-23 Marmot Pass Hike
All the hikers but one
Here's Johnny!
Hike begins
One of many mushrooms along the trail
I like the beads of water on the surface
David our hike leader in the lead – Note Quilcene River on the right
The next few photos are some of the mushrooms seen on the trail
The hike continues with Jack bringing up the rear
More colorful forest fungi to follow
Coral fungus almost looks like a flower
A variety of Aster
In places little streams ran across the trail
A little waterfall beside the trail – nice sound
A little cup for holding water
The Big Quilcene River runs alongside the trail
Thistle
The trail has good views of the rugged peaks
Flowers with a friend
We get above the trees – note all the flowers
Dandelion
Fireweed
Orange Agoseris
Getting near the top and the flowers are more abundant
More Asters
Flowers with friends
A variety of Bluebells with a friend
It’s not called Marmot Pass for nothing
The Olympic Mountain Range from the top of Marmot Pass
The hikers on top of Marmot Pass
The Hood Canal Bridge way off in the distance
From the top of Marmot Pass looking back the way we came
Heading back to the trailhead
The reason this location is called Marmot Pass
It’s a very pretty trail with all the flowers
Some of the rugged peaks you see along the trail
Mushrooms that look like little balls
This tree grabbed two of our hikers
I like the color
A delicate looking flower next to the trail
Our last view of the Big Quilcene River
That's all folks!
