Walked through an amazing aspen grove--the biggest aspens Mom's ever seen.
This one had old and new bear claw marks. He tried but didn't quite best the one who was there before him.
Still water on a beautiful evening.

Pictographs on Lake Chelan, Stehekin 9.08
From directly across the lake, at Stehekin Landing, you could see the rock face made white by mineral runoff.
When we got close, these drawings by some ancient inhabitants of this place were visible, as were the remains of more recent graffiti (1946).
I couldn't find any information online about possible dates for these drawings, but it is amazing to sit and look at handprints made by some hand from another time.
Stehekin means "the way through," as this was the opening to a crossing that took Central Washington tribes to the Puget Sound. Not the kind of path we'd think of as a way through. Still lots of mountains to cross from there.
Tally marks?
