Catching up 3

Another lazy morning.  On the early part of the trip, we were having longer travel days.   Now they are a bit shorter.  Today we are driving through the North Cascades National park and will camp at another state park on the other side.  We found out that the nights in the park are very cold and they do not have power hook ups for our heater. 

This a very beautiful drive with awsome views!

This next group of pictures are from an overlook just after topping a pass.  We are in the Cascades Mountains, but not in the National park yet.

 

 

The interesting thing about this overlook is that it was build right out on the rocks.  You can look right down on the highway.  You feel like you are almost flying!

 

 

That is the highway we drove up down below.  I am standing behind a very strong and sturdy rail or I would not be doing this.

 

 

Don just had to take my picture!!

 

After we went up the two passes, we started going down!  We went down for a long way.  In fact, we were just about out of the park we were finally down at the bottom.

 

There are two Dams and two lakes in the park.  Ross Lake is down below in the valley and the only way down there is to walk.

 

 

 

 

 Next stop was at a water fall area.  Both were very pretty.

 

 

 

We finally made it to the visitor's center where we took a 2 mile hike down by the river.

These are pictures of that trail.



That is about it for now.  We are in the Seattle area for a layover day and rest.  I also had to do laundry after camping for a week.  The little pop up camper has done great and we have gotten pretty good at setting up and breaking camp.
