Mike in Oly
In 2018 my husband and I took a trip over to the east side of the Cascades, across White Pass and down to the Tieton Riverto do some day hiking. We’d heard the fall colors were lovely there and wanted to check it out. We were not disappointed. I did an On The Road for the hike in the past, so this submission will be just about the foliage. And it was glorious.
The area along the Tieton River is on the dry side of the mountains and is mostly oak forest, with alder and willow, and a few other things thrown in. But the oak predominates here. It is enclosed by tall cliffs of volcanic rock, layer over layer. The geology is a real treat for us, as on the rainy side where we live it is all hidden under forest. The sun was bright and all the trees were just glowing. A perfect day for photography.
