We made an overnight trip to Deep Lake after spending the first part of the day on Chelan Butte.
I couldn't find a new place to visit on this rainy day. So we made another trip out to Potholes Coulee.
We spent another day out east to Taunton Benchmark on Saddle Mountains near Othello, Washington.
Today we went east to Steamboat Rock in search of the afternoon sunshine. We had no views on yesterday's trip.
Sentinel Mountain is one of the several identified high points on the Saddle Mountains.
Due to high rainfall, this year, we weren't able to welcome the new year on top of a mountain.
Today we took our new apprentice on a short trip to Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park.
In anticipation of today's high precipitation rate over the mountains, the pup and I headed out east.
We left for Eastern Washington early this morning but didn’t get over Snoqualmie Pass before the snowfall.
We first came to Moses Coulee Preserve a year and a half ago. It was a surprise find on the way home.
Puget Sound was too windy. So we once again found ourselves in Monument Coulee.
Parking lot had only two cars parked on a sheet of ice when we arrived in late morning.
The area had more snow when we last visited two Decembers ago. Temperature reading of 17°F at the start of the hike, felt much colder than being in higher elevations in the mountains.
