I hiked to Granite Lakes today – phew! The wildfire smoke is thick. My eyes were burning as I got near the lake. I am sure I inhaled some bad stuff. This is our new normal, not just in the PNW but around the world. Consider the tragic fires in and around Greece recently.
Anyway, this hike is nice but not the most strenuous. The first 1.1 mile is reasonably steep. After that, for the next 3 miles (round trip is about 8.2 miles) there is a steady elevation gain but it isn’t very steep. A nice uphill walk.
Smoke, smoke, every where. Track below.
Dirty Harry’s Peak (sort of)
