Valley Fog and Mt Steel

One of the most dramatic campsites I have stayed at is in LaCrosse Basin at Hart Lake in Olympic National Park. There’s a nice site that sites on a small peninsula and the view to the south across the Duckabush Valley in stunning. There is a longish hike to get there (think 20 miles), which means it isn’t usually crowded. Well, that was more true in the past … everywhere is getting crowded now.

But on this trip we had great weather and the mosquitos were pretty good and we had the place to ourselves. It was nice watching the fog rise up the valley and burn off.
