Kelly, Alan, Chris and I went on a day hike to Ingalls Lake to see some fall colors. I think
we were a little early for the vibrant colors, but we did see some yellows. We also got some
great views of Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, and a close view of Mt. Stuart! The weather was clear
and blue. A great fall day for a hike!

Behind the waves of blue is Mt. Adams in the haze.
Mt. Stuart with some larch trees, their needles changing color.
After lunch Kelly and Alan headed back. Chris and I wanted to see the
lake, and thought we could just over the next ridge, so we kept hiking.
This is a little ways along the trial.
Just over the ridge was the lake, and it had a great view of Mt. Stuart behind it!
On the way back we got another view of Mt. Stuart with the larch trees.
