Icicle Ridge with the Molz Factor

Greetings faithful viewers. Its been a while since I've posted, so I am going to go big with the pictures this time! Today I went out hiking with my long time friend from HHS (thats right! Helena High School...go Bengals!), Molly Hoyne. You can call her Molz. We tackled the grueling switchbacks on a 5.3 mile ascent to the over 7000' lookout point on Icicle Ridge to drink up the views on a hot sunny day in Washington state.

The ascent offered wonderful views of mountain wildflowers and beautiful vistas...oh yeah, and this swiss cheese tree. Hum.


























Molz and I stayed tough all the way to the top, and don't we look it! Here we are playing around on the top of the world. Cheese!

























We got a great view of the Glacier Peak Wilderness. Glacier Peak is far left.


It was over 90 degrees today so we weren't surprised to see a budding wildfire in the distance. Eek!



As we made our way down, I was still enamored by the amazing views. However, my feet really started to hurt and I soon got an itch to get them boots off and booked it straight on down.













Well folks, thats all for now. ~Good night and good luck~
