After a mellow New Years eve old folks party at our house, Debbie and I got an after lunch start on our drive up The Mountain Loop Hwy. on the 1st. We dressed warm and brought our umbrellas for a casual walk up the gated Monte Cristo rd., which we had to ourselves. Wish it would have been...

Not much color in the shady Mt. Loop valley so I went B&W with these. South Fork Stillaguamish River Big Four trail

Looks small from 88 miles away, but still THE MOUNTAIN. Drone Pano from above my house.

Another view of Mt. Pugh, this time at 400mm.
