Reality: How 'bout 52 and raining?

Managed about 240 miles on the MV and I'm in less pain than I expected. Hwy 20 is currently closed at Colonial Creek campground #northcascades #motosky

A high-elevation view looking down into a broad glacially carved valley in the North Cascades, where a braided river winds through a green valley floor dense with conifers and alpine meadow. Rocky, lichen-covered outcrops and low-growing subalpine fir crowd the foreground, with the ridgeline of a forested peak rising across the valley.

It is impossible to capture the stunning scale of views like this in an image viewed on a tiny phone screen, but that doesn't stop me from trying.

Two climbers descend a steep, rocky slope in the Picket Range of the North Cascades. In the foreground, a climber wearing a yellow helmet and red pack navigates a field of large, sunlit boulders. Further down the gray scree field, a second person picks their way through the loose rocks. Sharp, dark spires of Mount Terror and Degenhardt rise abruptly against a pale blue sky in the background.

Lost in the jagged heart of the Pickets.

POV: A climber looks down at a pair of legs in tan trousers and mountaineering boots equipped with crampons. They are perched on the narrow, rocky, and snow-dusted ridge of Jack Mountain in the Pasayten Wilderness, which drops off sharply into a sea of thick, white fog on both sides.

Safe travels.

Rainbow Falls at night, Stehekin, WA

There was a full moon helping out with lighting, but the 312 foot upper and lower falls are illuminated by a couple friends with flashlights.

A snow-covered Mount Baker dominates the horizon under a soft, golden sky at sunset. Layers of dark, evergreen ridges and bright, snowy slopes create a high-contrast landscape in the foreground. Wispy white clouds drift through the mid-ground, partly obscuring the rugged terrain below the massive volcanic summit.

Golden.

A black Labrador in a blue collar rests on the rocky summit of Evergreen Mountain, gazing out toward a vast landscape. Patches of green grass and small wildflowers scatter across the soil in the foreground. In the distance, jagged, snow-capped mountain ranges emerge from a dense blanket of white clouds, filling the valleys below.

Waiting on spring.

A hiker stands on a dirt path surrounded by massive cedar trees with thick bark draped in moss. Dense, vibrant green ferns and low-lying plants cover the ground, with bright lime-green vine maple leaves framing the top. The individual looks upward at the towering trunks that extend toward a bright, leafy canopy.

Lost in cedar wonderland.

A view along Highway 2 in the North Cascades in Washington State. Snow covered mountain top rising into the clouds and fog.

Looking down toward two glacial lakes nestled in a granite basin from the summit of Snowking Mountain. The upper lake is large and light gray, reflecting the heavy cloud cover, while a smaller, darker teal pond sits just below it. Massive, swirling white clouds partially obscure the dark, rocky ridgeline in the background.

Two hues, one mood.

A marmot occupies a narrow dirt trail winding through an alpine meadow filled with green foliage and purple wildflowers. In the background, the massive, snow-covered Mount Logan inside the North Cascades National Park rises majestically against a clear blue sky, flanked by fir trees.

Tourist of Easy Pass.

A black Labrador in a teal harness stands on an overturned green canoe, resting on top of a sprawling, tangled pile of weathered wood at the edge of the shaded Lake Isabel. In the background, the deep blue water meets a shoreline of dense forest and a steep, sunlit ridgeline under a clear sky.

Sail away, sail away.

A tall, narrow waterfall plunges through a steep rocky gorge, with white water rushing between dark, jagged stone walls covered in patches of moss and small green plants.

A narrow ribbon of water cuts through dark stone, carving its way down a steep gorge in North Cascades National Park. Power, patience, and time written into the rock. #NorthCascades #NorthCascadesNationalPark #PacificNorthwest #Waterfall #NaturePhotography #WoodSpriteRoadTrip

A narrow waterfall descends a steep, dark rock face surrounded by dense evergreen forest in North Cascades National Park, with white water contrasting against mossy stone and deep green foliage.

The quality of these photos aren't great because I shot through dirty train windows and the lighting also wasn't great. But I thought I would post anyway. The trip was from Seattle to Chicago.

As we close out 2025, this view from Cutthroat Pass in the North Cascades of Washington motivates us to keep our spirit of exploration alive.
