This was a three day trip in mid-August, 2010.
I started at the Snowgrass Flats trailhead. As in many such hikes, you start by getting small tastes of what is to come.
I suppose many woodpeckers had their way with this tree.
Up towards Snowgrass Flats, on trail 97, I passed through a meadow with much beargrass and lupine.
First view of Cispus Basin.
