skykomish to stehekin... some epic climbs...

[so right now i'm actually in seattle, staying with some awesome people jane knows - the savos... i'll have to get a shot of bash (sebastian) and desi (desmond)- their boys, they're great, and desi and i spent today mostly eating berries together, much to his mother's delight (she had to change his nappy)... think we're going to the pub tonight to watch the afl final... )





the hike between skykomish and stehekin was fantastic - really really scenic. we walked around glacier peak, near some glaciers and through some beautiful meadows. think we also walked near an area called snohomish, just to continue the fabulous name theme...





i'm pretty sure this is glacier peak, can't quite remember...




this is headbanger, looking suitably epic...

















i believe this (the animal down there) is a hoary marmot... (i learnt this from my mother, who knows an inordinate amount about american wildlife)
