Hike Heather Park Trail in Spring (Photojournal) Olympic National Park Outdoors

Out doing some training; since only have 6 weeks before put a pack on my back for the summer.  Couldn't ask for better weather.  Blue skies, no wind, no bugs and spring corn snow.  Some postholing for a few miles, but the views made it all worth it.  Here is a few photos of the day.

It was a lovely day hike into the Olympic Mountains. I was glad to have the gear I needed for this adventure. Always be prepared in the backcountry; no matter the season.
