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.
