A sunlit alpine meadow at Chinook Pass, Washington, in early autumn. In the foreground, a large gray boulder anchors the scene, surrounded by patches of golden grasses and low shrubs tinged with red and orange. Small evergreens rise nearby, while a dense forest of tall conifers stretches across the slope behind. Splashes of bright crimson foliage stand out vividly against the green backdrop, with a cloudless deep blue sky above. The image captures the seasonal transition in the Pacific Northwest high country, blending rugged rock, evergreen forest, and vibrant fall color.

An alpine meadow at Chinook Pass glows with autumn color, where low red, orange, and gold shrubs spread across the grassy slope. Scattered boulders and evergreen trees dot the hillside, leading up to a jagged rocky outcrop crowned with tall firs. The bright blue sky overhead adds contrast to the warm fall tones, creating a vivid Pacific Northwest mountain landscape.

The Chinook Pass Overpass, a historic bridge built of massive logs and stone, stretches across the trail at the summit of Chinook Pass in Mount Rainier National Park. The wooden plank walkway leads forward between two log railings set on stone abutments, its craftsmanship blending seamlessly into the alpine surroundings. Behind the bridge, tall evergreen trees tower toward a bright blue sky, framing the scene in rugged wilderness. Sunlight highlights the textures of wood and stone, emphasizing the harmony between human-made structure and natural forest.

Does anyone out there in the Fediverse know anything about cycling Chinook Pass (Washington SR 410 northeast of Mt Rainier National Park) before it opens to cars for the season? I believe it has been cleared to the summit from the east. Thinking about checking it out next weekend […]

Waterfall Wednesday! With 2 drops totaling nearly 480 feet, Snoquera Falls is a beast of a waterfall about 3 miles north of Mt Rainier National Park accessed from SR 410.
