I uploaded about 1 out of every 3 photos I shot during a day hike on the Westberg Memorial Trail, Ellensburg, Washington. The hike is four miles (6.4 Kilometers) round trip with a 1,700 foot (518 meters) elevation gain.
There are great views of the Mt Stuart and the Stuart Range from the top of the ridge. After reaching the top there are many miles of jeep trails.

Third day of a three day backpack trip in the Goat Rocks Wilderness, Washington State. Photos from Cispus Pass and along the route to and from Cispus Pass on the PCT. IMG_7679
I packed up, hiked from my camp at Jordan Basin, set up camp a short distance from the PCT Snowgrass Flat trail junction and hiked to the top of Old Snowy Peak on the second day of a three day backpack trip in the Goat Rocks Wilderness, Washington State, USA. This is the view from Old Snowy's summit.
From a mountaineering point of view I probably don't have these peaks correctly identified. One source reports tha Gilbert Peak or Mt Gilbert, or Mt Curtis Gilbert Peak was once called Goat Rocks. Also, I beleive that Gilbert spelled his name "Curtiss." This is the highest point in the Goat Rocks Wilderness at 8201 feet.
Lighting of Old Snowy is poor in the photo. IMG_7569
Earlier in the day I hiked past Goat Lake. A small section of Pacific Crest Trail is visible on the left in the rocks. IMG_7559

I'm not a lover of cabbage! I couldn't resist taking the picture though! The light and shade were lovely.
