Hey! What's up neighbor. I figured there were other Seattleites scattered about here, though you're the first I've come across. And thanks, I'll check yours out too! We live in a beautiful place.
The hike is Jade Lake, WTA isn't too helpful but the link can be found here https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/jade-lake
Amazing...it looks incredible. I got to do the Enchantments Core last summer and it was one of the best hikes I’ve ever done -- I really want to get back up into that alpine region this year. Love this (I curate for some folks and recommended you...and looks like you got a little something for these beautiful photos!!) Keep up the great work--a tip--a lot of curating sites won’t pick up content that’s previously been posted on your website or blog (in this post you used 1 photo from your portfolio and 5 that were original to steemit so that was okay). Also, folks who use a few headlines here and there, line breaks, and mix a bit of story in between their photos seem to do really well...continuously. Just a few tips, so you can keep seeing your rewards grow. :) See you around.
It is! You should try to go, so beautiful. This past year was my first in the Enchantments too, though I had to do it on snowshoes so it was a bit of a different experience. Our permit was for the last week of October, right after a weeklong snowstorm. It was gorgeous though.
Thanks for the recommendation! Still learning about Steemit. I didn't know curating was so big until a couple of days ago. I'll definitely keep your formatting tips in mind for my future posts, thanks for that as well :) See ya!
Ours was mid-September right during the fires. Luckily the Core was still open but we had to view Colchuck from the top of Anna Purna. I would love to go in the snow, it must be remarkable....it was a once in a lifetime experience. Looking forward to your pics ;)
I’ll say...I’m not a photographer, but here are snaps of our trip! https://steemit.com/travel/@lilyraabe/the-enchantments-an-adventure-7500-feet-in-the-sky
Looks beautiful! Hopefully the smoke wasn't too terrible. I did a few backpacking trips in the smoke, breathing was hard. Got some pretty interesting sunsets because of it though..
