Great pics Greg. I like the one of the bear too and the one of the owl on your website is amazingly sharp!

Beautiful shots, they make me feel- I don't know- renewed and calm (like I feel when I'm out there) Nice TR. Sounded like a peaceful time (except for the slip!) Thanks!

Beautiful photos! But especiallly love the bear! We saw lots of bear tracks this weekend but no bear.

I wonder if your pct hiker is the one I saw last weekend. I think his name was Dan (Cpt Ugly Beard).

Good to see photos of the area north. Will start heading up that way soon.

Beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing. Backpacking to the base of Clyde in the 70's was my first b-pack trip. Your photos make me want to get back there.

Nice pictures. Makes me want to get a digital body for all my SLR-film lenses and filters.
