Summer is in full force here in Seattle.
Kate and I chose to brave temperatures in the upper 80's to
hike Bandera Mountain on a gorgeous, clear Monday.
I only have photos from my phone, so pardon the lack of quality.

Once we reached the steep meadow area the bear grass was phenomenal.
We also saw plenty of paintbrush, lupine, and many other
wildflowers I don't know the names of.
Rainier was beautiful and once we hit Little Bandera
we could see more of the jagged Cascade profile that I love.
We had a short snack break at the summit before heading down.
The bugs were BAD. We borrowed DEET from the two other
hikers we saw on the way up. Too bad I already had several bites
including a horse fly bite on my knee swollen to half-dollar size.
It was an excellent hike which I would totally do again.
Thanks, Kate, for joining me!
Next time, bug repellent.
