Totally forgot about these pictures when I first saw the snow, and when the snow became thicker! I was just soooo excited to finally see it heh~

(2/2) Pics vs video of the same, and bonus baked potato reward once I was back in the cabin!π Maybe I was just exhausted and needed the carbs/proteins, but it was soooo tasty and rewarding.π₯°

(1/2) Made ~1/2 way to Cougar Camp, but night was rapidly approaching. So it was our last stop before heading back!
Kinda high up from Nisqually River, but you can tell there is a drought vs how high it should be π΅βπ«

Kept pushing to see how far we could get before sunset, and came across these cute snow people someone setup on the trail!βοΈ Also that is a really really big mushroom~π

(1/2) The sun was starting to get away from me, but the Nisqually River was just so beautiful here. Even though the water levels are low, it was still flowing, and is quite serene.

The lighting was doing some neat things as the sun was going down! The snowy peaks were kinda glowing, water was reflecting orange, and you could see a clear delineation from the sun against the mountains.

Was maybe about 1/4th-1/3rd of the way to Cougar Camp, and started to see some snow!βοΈ Mushrooms were becoming much more common too π
