A high-elevation hiking trail at Crystal Mountain, WA, where green meadows and dense evergreen forests stretch across rolling slopes. Patches of lingering snow cling to the higher elevations between jagged peaks. A narrow hiking trail winds through the grassy foreground, leading the eye toward the sharp ridges and distant snow-capped Mt Adams volcano faintly visible on the horizon under a clear summer sky.
That crisp alpine air makes the climb worth every step.
