After determining we did not want to hike up a very snow covered Snow Lake trail, we continued east of the mountains and onto Leavenworth. There are several hikes we enjoy doing in the area and the sunshine and blue skies were a welcome sight compared to the grey we left behind. What a difference a couple hundred miles make.
Between the wildflowers and the relatively empty trail I was in heaven.
These paintbrushes are among some of my favorite wildflowers.
