| partners | | i've always liked linda's photos of the selkirks, so lookout mountain was today's choice
longer drive to the trailhead, especially on the forest service road drainage moguls
harlow got to come along 
we got going around 0930
first part of the trail was steep and overgrown, with spiderwebs
didn't last long, and the terrain opened up a bit
we stopped at lookout lake for a few minutes, then continued on
good views to the south as we got higher, with priest lake visible
the last push to the summit is on an old roadbed
great scenery from the top of the surrounding selkirk mountains with lookout lake below
linda pointed out several landmarks
granite cirques and peaks that remind me of the sierra nevada
bruce and i went up on the tower
harlow did not want linda going up without her so not this time
the old lookout cabin is in good condition and worth a peek inside
we took a long break and just enjoyed being on the summit
retraced some of our steps, then took a different trail and eventually a road that offered good views to the west
this was a great hike, probably my favorite, leading to a desire to see more of the selkirk mountains |
