In the summer of 2018, I spent 10 days hiking through the remote Bailey range in Olympic National Park covering terrain that required technical scrambling, route finding, and snow crossings. The landscape was rugged and wild and we didn’t see another soul for 5 days. The sunset at Bear Pass on our first official night in the high country was an unearthly glow of overlapping oranges and fiery reds, creating a stark outline of Mt. Olympus’ eastern flank. The smoke particulates floated around us like snowflakes and we wore masks those first few days of the trip.
Bear Pass measures 18 x 12" and can be trimmed to fit a standard size 16 x 12" frame.
Our 10 day traverse of the remote Bailey Range provided many fine alpine views. Clockwise from top left: Scrambling up the shoulder of Barnes Peak. Mount Olympus looms over all. Eerie smokey sunset. Our trip began with heavy packs and smokey skies. Flowers and peaks for days.
