Today's Hike

My god, the west is burning, the south is getting hurricanes and everyone else has to worry about Covid. Wonderful day.
 
Out and back to Mission Peak via the summer approach. This another Mission side-country spot. An easy traverse from the ski area in the Winter, a bumpy car ride and pleasant walk during the summer. It's easy access to the Alpine. Lots of talus. We thought we would escape the smoke, but it's pretty much everywhere.

Here's what it looked like. The blue square on the map was the destination from yesterday's hike

Quick walk over in the Dry Gulch/Saddle Rock zone. Warm fall day... a great time to be outside in the PNW

Here's what is looks like on Google Earth... this is part of a trail system that spans the West side of the valley.

Saddle Rock is in the center left... if you squint real hard you can see Glacier Peak just to the right of it.
