Sleeping Beauty Mt. Adams Fall Sunshine


On a beautiful sunny fall day I went for a long drive with Oreo dog and my friend Corrine to a great hike with views of Mt. Adams, Sleeping Beauty.
Oreo dog was ready to pull me up a mountain as always. We hiked through the woods- 1.6 miles of steep to some great rockery at the top.
We spent some time exploring the high rocks and basking in the sunshine and mountain views.
Mt. Adams was right in front of us.
It was a great view.
In the distance was Mt. St. Helens.
Here I am in my mountain revelry and delight!
Oreo was keeping track of Corrine behind me and other hikers at the top.
Mt. Rainier in the distance.
More Mt. St. Helens.
Mt. Adams up close.
On top of the world!
Enjoying the sunshine.
Oreo always wants to keep going. She was happy to join us.
Mt. Adams beauty.
Hey, why aren't we going somewhere?
We went over to the site of the fire lookout on the other side of the rocks, still enjoying the mountains and the sunshine.
I can't get enough of this view!
Looking across the rocky spine.
Oreo is queen of the mountain.
I could stay up here a lot longer but it was time to head back toward the trailhead and back to town.
I enjoyed the rocks on the way back down. My heart feels happy and full from this adventure. Loving the fall sunshine!
