(more found images from my archive file) Hart Lake is in the upper Duckabush Valley, and is much less visited than the Heart Lake in the upper Sol Duc. Hart Lake takes over 20 miles of hiking to get there, so there are many fewer visitors. We were camped near the lake and when the sun was coming up, the clouds in the valley moved up … before burning off for the day. It was spectacular.
This was taken at the trailhead of Mt Ellinor (see my last two posts) looking out over Puget Sound at sunrise. (This was taken back in the day when I could get up and drive to a trailhead before the sun came up.)
The last couple posts showed Mt Rainier and Mt Baker in the sunrise. Here is what it looked like in between the two peaks.
Same sunrise as my previous post, also from Marrowstone Island. This is one looking north to Mt Baker instead of south to Mt Rainer.
This is a shot from Marrowstone Island just southeast of Port Townsend with Nodule Point in the foreground.
