Time for another plant & hiking thread! This weekend I revisited a favorite location from last year: the Cowlitz Divide on the East slope of Mt Rainier (Tahoma) in the Washington Cascades. Like most of the best trails in this part of the world it starts with a long uphill climb through deep conifer forest. The twisty tree there in the center is a Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata). More to follow.
