       Alpine Lakes: Jade LakeJade Lake is jaw droppingly gorgeous in person. Wow! Nobody told me that, or that the trail is so fun. Starts off from Marmot Lake rooty and rugged then shoots up rocky gullies and boulder fields to what must be Jade Pass. Lake Clarice, Marmot Lake, and No Name Lake were pretty too. If able, this is a must do trip. Still using my baby bear can (BV425) and I like it so far.#Backpacking #Hiking #WashingtonState #PNW #LandscapePhotography #Outdoors #Mountains

       Alpine Lakes: Surprise EverythingHeaded north to summit Surprise Mountain, descend the granite boulders down from Surprise Gap, visit the tranquil Surprise Lake, and then set up camp along Surprise Creek. I had almost changed trip locations due to a 30% chance of thunderstorms but I challenged myself to brave the weather anyway. It never rained on my camp but I heard near constant thunder all evening.#Backpacking #Hiking #WashingtonState #PNW #LandscapePhotography #Outdoors #Mountains
