Washington Trip Report part 41 - past Washington Pass

The views going downhill from Washington Pass were stunning. The sun was getting lower in the sky and the lighting on the mountain tops was golden. I had to limit the number of photos I took because I'd lost one of my camera batteries a few days earlier and the two I had left were both running out of juice.

Here you can see a bit of the golden lighting. It didn't photograph all that well.

I found a place to pull off the road and stop. This is the view looking back the way I came, at Liberty Bell Mountain.

You can see the golden lighting a bit better in these photos

After this the road continued downhill fairly steeply.

This is at the next place I found to stop, not all that far from the last one. It was the last place I took photographs before leaving the mountains.

Coming next: back to the dry side of Washington
