After my long weekend trip with Alex, Jenny, and Matt, I spent another day hanging around the Methow by myself. I worked during the middle of the day, but was able to enjoy some short hikes during the sunrise and sunset hours to make the most of the larch color. Here are some pictures from Slate Pass and Blue Lake Peak, where I watched a truly stunning sunset on the drive back west.
