Moody mountains

We hiked through some seriously Pacific Northwest-style weather the other weekend. 

This is Lake Isabelle, being all coy.

The trail is fairly flat (by mountain standards), which makes it a good hike for out-of-state visitors. Plus, you know, there are some okay views.

Hideous, I know. Somehow, we managed to finish the hike without trying to gouge our eyes out from all that ugliness. Then we had to suffer through seeing the chubbiest marmot ever and spotting a moose. We’re troopers like that, I guess.
