Down the Agnes Creek valley |
The mist and drizzle is still drifting in and out |
||||
Lots of brush means lots of water droplets waiting to give my trousers a soaking |
One of two large and dramatic side-cirques |
||||
Down in the valley bottom at last: the bridge over Glacier Creek |
|||||
I ran much of the last couple of miles, to make sure I got the last shuttle bus to Stehekin |
Agnes Creek is often almost jammed with blowdown trees washed down in last Winter's floods |
Sting in the tail: a rather hairy temporary suspension bridge at the bottom of Agnes Creek gorge! |
|||
The river |
End of the road: the High Bridge Guard Station |
Welcome sight: the 6:15pm shuttle bus to Stehekin, a good meal and warm bed! |
|||
My room at the Stehekin Landing Resort |
View from my balcony over Lake Chelan |
Tuesday 18 Steptember: From Stehekin up to the head of the lake, the direction I arrived from |
One of the gorgeous houses as I walk up to the bakery for lunch (1.7 miles): permanent population of the valley is about 65 |
||
Head of the lake |
The world-famous bakery where I had a very enjoyable lunch! |
||||
Back at the landing |
Wednesday 19 September: a sprinkling of snow on the mountain tops |
Smoke from the forest fires (2 months or more old) |
The deck outside the restaurant |
||
They were very generous with the toiletries... |
The fast boat has arrived |
Restaurant to the left, store to the right |
The fast boat leaving for Chelan |
||
The float plane off for a trip |
The slow boat for Chelan has arrived: I'll be leaving on this around 2pm |
Goodbye to Stehekin |
Looking back |
