Lakeview Mountain…
We have seen this mountain recently from several peaks we’ve bagged. It really stands out at 7066’. There is no trail to the summit, but the SW ridge provides an easy approach. We went off-trail just after passing Saddle Lake. It’s easy travel, just steep in parts. After a long break at the summit, we followed our track back to the trail near Saddle Lake, headed south on the trail around a couple of switchbacks, then went cross-country towards Pretty Lake, to catch the Pretty Lake trail back to where we parked, making for a fun loop.
Another fun day outside with my sweet wife, Deb.
Parked near the trail.
Fawn Lake. One of three lake we’ll hike by…
Saddle Lake…
Deb asked me if I would see if my camera could take a better pic of the emerging growth…OK!
A look at the SW ridge that we’ll pick our way to the summit.

Sometimes you find this when going cross-country. A log makes it much easier…
Pretty Lake… No, really…that’s what it’s called.
Beautiful Nobel Fir…
The day’s track…
Very nice Karl. As always thank you for the vicarious pleasure.
