Climbing Blue Mountain 4/25/2010

While climbing Blue Mountain with 5 others, I shot these photographs and also a short video on 25 April 2010.  Blue Mountain is in the Olympic National Park.

The hike was exhilarating!

This is our approach to Blue Mountain.  After emerging from the high mountain forest, we hiked up through swirling, rising clouds of mist crossing this high apline snow field.  In this picture, Blue Mountain can be seen in the background shrouded in mist.

These are fellow hikers climbing to the top of Blue Mountain's summit to join me. In the background looms Greywolf Ridge, another of many mountainscapes in the Olympic National Forest.
