#hiking #PNW
Hiked the Deception Creek Trail in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness near Skykomish today. The shaded forest along and above rushing water was a welcome respite from the current heatwave. Also saw some interesting plants-picture below is of the Pacific Coralroot, a member of the orchid family that does not use photosynthesis, but rather relies on fungi for its carbon source.
