Chrystal Peak

Wonderful, exhausting hike with stunning views of six!! volcanoes: Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Baker, Glacier Peak. Descending an alternative route towards Chrystal Lakes through the avalanche gullies is a bit tricky but so much fun!

I love this mountain

Fall in the mountains is just around the corner

Views of upper Chrystal Lake

Finally got to see them, those massive mountain goats

My limited photography skills wouldn't let me capture all four
of the volcanoes you should see from this perspective...
sorry you have to come and see for yourself.

Massive

Mt. Adams, definitely looks like a relative of Mr. Rainier

Descent from Chrystal Peak 

A third lake which caused a bit of confusion while I was looking for the
official trail back down since the trail description only talks about two lakes.
Beautiful nonetheless
