Granite Mountain

I went up Granite Mountain last weekend. The first time I went up there was in the spring. It was very different this time. The wild blue huckleberry’s leaves had just started turning red.

There was a little snow left over from the week before.

And the sun was out, leaving some interesting shadows.

And the views from the top were breathtaking.

and it is nice to have a zoom lens too…

The mail still gets in and out of Supai via the pony express.

And some waterfalls on the way up…

And this strange fungus that was weeping some sort of liquid… although I was afraid to touch it.

Sheep lake had a variety of wildflowers…

So where do they get the names for these places in the mountains? Like Sheep Lake? Does the lake look like a sheep?

Or maybe there are sheep around the lake? (This is probably a goat, not a sheep)

Anyway, I really wanted to get a good picture of Mount Rainier at sunrise.

Although it looks pretty good later in the morning too…

But at least I made a friend…

Talapus Lake

This hike was short and recommended for children, so I thought I would take a few hours to check it out. It turns out the road is washed out, so instead of 5 miles round trip it is about 10. But it is still a cool hike.
