Oh Dear

The same pair of dear met us for breakfast the next morning

No Cares

They had no problem with us being there. Food conquers fears

...and Bears! Oh my!

The black bear that was walking just yards below where Michael was hiking

Bumble Bear

The Bumbleabout mascot?

On the Hunt

This bear was hungry. Just glad he prefered the vegetation over us.

Scree Trail

This trail cut across a long scree field. Watch your step!

The Sentinels Watch

Be passed the gates of the mountain sentinels after crossing over Cascade Pass

Watch Your Step

This trail must need to be constantly cleared of loose stones

Look Up

Hoping that no loose scree decides to come stumble down after another landslide

I Spy Fern

Can you spot Fern up ahead of me?

Rock Out

Just a close up of some of the loose stones that make up the endless scree field

Peekaboo

The rocks that make up the scree field are multiple layers thick. Making the slopes even more unstable

Glaciator

Its still mid-August and the glacier are holding tight to the mountains

Up View

Another view looking up the scree field

Towards The Pass

A view from where we were hiking from at Cascade Pass

Glacier Crunch

All along our walk out of the North Cascades we could hear loud cracks from the mountains caused by these glaciers
