The trail was relatively quiet this morning, but on our return from the Hemlock Pass area we started to encounter more people. Still, there were quite a few less than I anticipated. Probably a combination of the season and the weather forecast. I hear this place is a zoo in the summer.
At the trailhead a crew was working to erect a new trailhead sign. Looks nice and strong.
Before crossing under the I-90 elevated highway, 8buck observed this cool looking mushroom along the trail.
A while later we noticed this 'scaled' vertical cliff with a strange circular shape where the layers of rock have fallen out.
Met some friendly Robber Jays and found a blue tank top in a tree above the trail.
We also noticed a white spot in a distant tree across one of the talus slopes. Here is the original photo (full zoom) and then the photoshopped/cropped/enlarged 'white spot'. I figured it was an eagle, but it's in a peculiar postion - like it has its head under its wing.
Someday I'll head back out here and visit Lake Melakwa - when the weather is a little bit better.
