On Saturday, Ken and I hiked the Maple Pass/Lake Ann loop route, starting at Rainy Pass. It was a brisk day with lots of sunshine and fall colors.

Liberty Bell seems lost in all the other big mountains in this view
The cirque behind these larch trees is directly above Rainy Lake. Its tiny glacier cannot be seen here.

That's the high spot

Looking down the other side.
That's Glacier Peak on the left surrounded by other glacier covered mountains. There are more glaciers in the North Cascades than in the rest of the lower 48. Well, that's what they told us at the North Cascades Environmental Learning Center.

Looks amazing. Sorry we were unable to make it this year. We'll try again next year.
