A week ago, I joined a friend for a snowshoe adventure. I am not fond of snowshoeing but living in a place with a long winter, a person needs lots of ways to get out and enjoy the snow. I managed to trip myself up more than once and I was quite tired when we were done but still, it was so lovely and a great day to be out. Now the highway is closed and we won’t see this area again til next May or June.
Our second site had the best sunrises and sunsets. That incredible October light. All these images were made from our lovely lakeside campsite. My girls look good in the evening light.
In the eastern part of Okanogan County and the western part of Ferry County is a region referred to as the Okanogan Highlands. It is an area dotted with lakes and covered with forests and meadows and occasional high mountains. The lakes are a big attraction for birders and anglers and photographers.
The ferry dock was a couple of miles from downtown and with only a little more than an hour there, we only had a chance to walk around the nearby marina. The sea anemones were huge – much bigger than what we have seen in Washington. But then Alaskan’s would probably tell you that is true about everything in their state.
I can’t say enough about the wonderful desert hiking we did while we were in the Bear’s Ears region of SE Utah. And we just began to explore the area.
