Deception
Falls, however, was blasting down over the rocks. We've never seen
it like this, nor heard it thundering down over the rocks as loudly.
|
|
The
crashing of the water on the rocks was awesome!
|
|
I
liked this picture of Tim at work.
|
|
At
the top of the falls were bushes with pretty little pink flowers.
As yet, I have been unable to identify them. |
|
We
decided to take a ride along Foss River Road, since it was a new
road to us. I was amazed to see carpets of trilliums everywhere. |
|
Most
were white, but some were purplish.
|
|
As
we climbed to a higher elevation, you can see what we ran into!
We had hoped to get to the top of Maloney Peak, but that trip will
have to wait until summer, as the snow got deeper and more slippery
and we decided to turn around. |
|
There
were some great views from the road.
|
|
Here's
a closeup of one of the peaks we saw.
|
|
Next
we went along Beckler River Road. The sides of the road were covered
with lovely little blue forget-me-not flowers and bright yellow
dandelions. |
|
Here's
Tim at our lunch spot, beside one of the many waterfalls we saw
today. |
|
Another
common roadside flower was the Wild Bleeding Heart. |
|
And
eeek, this looked like an Alien Plant, plunked down near a bed of
ferns. My hero Tim identified it as a Horsetail.
|
|
On our way
home, we took a short break beside the North Fork of the Skykomish
River. This gave us a very brief peek at Mount Index which was
shrouded in clouds.
