On Saturday Laura and I had a nice walk on the Naches Peak Loop Trail just off of Chinook Pass, soaking in the weather and wildflowers. The trail winds circuitously for grand views of Rainier, and for a quick side trip we hiked down to Dewey Lakes along a chunk of the PCT.

It was Phlox Phest 05, I seem to not be able to take enough pictures of these tiny wildflowers. They ranged from brilliant white to pale blues and vivid purples. Just wait until the Paintbrush and Lupine are in bloom.
