Taking advantage of beautiful warm spring weather, we went up to Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park. The views were stunning, but comparing the view (above) with a photo from about the same spot back 5 years ago and three weeks later in May shows that we have a very low snowpack this year.
For another view, this time looking down the Elwha River valley. This one is a little more difficult to compare snowfields, because they are similar and both are a long ways away.
Awesome!
Thanks, Ziggy
Gorgeous photos, Allan, but I see what you mean about the snow pack. Ours is low this year, too, so much so that we’re already experiencing a drought.
Thanks, Lynette.
Sad to say, it seems to be very widespread.
I’m afraid we’re in for a bad fire season.
Yes, I think so too.
Wow! That is gorgeous. It must be breathtaking.
It is… besides being at over 5200 ft.
Yikes. Let’s hope we get plenty of rain this summer, or it’s going to be a rough one.
That’s a tough wish, though
Magic Mountains
Yes, they are. And Thanks, Marcus.
