Forbidden Peak

If you haven’t already, check out the trip reports:

I feel much better today, so here are some more photos:

A white-tailed ptarmigan in the high on Forbidden Peak.

For information on this beautiful bird species, see this informative website.

A close shot of a ptarmigan. There were many in the rocks and gravel when I passed in the morning.

Mighty Johannesburg Mountain. The North Face of Johannesburg towers a mile above the North Fork Cascade River valley floor. Behind J-burg is Mount Buckindy and the Buckindy crags.

Glacier Peak is on the left and Mount Rainier can be seen in the distance just right of center. Rainier has not been this clear from the North Cascades since early/mid July.

View to the peaks of the Ptarmigan Traverse and Glacier Peak.

There are many more photos to come, including wildflowers and panoramas!
