Royal Basin, Olympic National Forest

Journal entry September 2000.
Another picture of the same lake as the last little shadow of dawn disappears. What's in store for today do you think?

We ascend into a series of flat meadows terraced one over the other with short climbs in between. The very edge of the high mountain ridges grow closer and closer.

Wandering out into the meadow.

Below is Royal Basin itself. The usual campsite for hikers.

Posing for another picture

Oh for Pete's sake, just climb the ridge and quit horsing around you losers!.

Water runs out of a plateau above us just before we start the climb.

Okay okay, we're going already.

Looking back at Royal Basin as we ascend the ridge above.

Climbing still yet higher and shooting back at Royal.
