Park Butte

This was a trip my friend Sean and I took up to the Park Butte fire lookout. It was a relatively short hike. We walked over rock water and snow eventually ending up with a pretty impressive view at the summit. Here are the photos from the trip.


Glacial melt. It was the best water I've ever tasted. 


It was nothing but fog  in front of us, but behind you could still see the brilliantly blue, cloudless sky.



I don't think I've ever seen a dog that is as bad at catching things in it's mouth as Sean's dog Azzie. This is a photo of him waiting for the snowball to come to him.  







You can sleep in the fire lookout because it's no longer in use. Unfortunately a couple of elderly gentlemen had beaten us up there. They were feisty, probably dude to all the wine and cannabis they had been consuming since they had reached the lookout.






 Found this bumble bee walking around on the ground. I think it was still waiting for the sun to warm it up enough for its motor functions to work properly.

This is the cliff face the fire lookout is perched on.



As we were on our way back down we noticed this red object tucked up in the rocks just a couple hundred feet below the summit. We left our path to investigate.
 The bottle read "Crown Royal Placed by JHL May, 29, 2010"
Let's just say that it did not age well.


Azzie fell asleep in the car on the way home.


Then we found a dead dragon fly in the back of the car.



The End
