Granite Mountain 5/30/15

Unsettled spring weather in Oregon caused us to cancel our big climb for the weekend and do a day hike closer to home instead.  This is a popular hike, so we got up early and headed over Snoqualmie Pass.  We saw a few groups on the way up and then saw dozens of groups and an overflowing parking lot on the way down. 
 Nearing the summit on a beautiful day!

Glacier Peak and part of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
Mt. Rainier in the distance.  We could see mountain peaks all over the state from the Olympics to Mt. Adams and Mt. Stuart.
