Yellow Aster Butte

We headed out to one of our ultimate favorite spots two weekends ago. We first found it years ago and this was our third time on it.

It is only a 4 mile hike in and it has great views for most of the hike. We started our hike in Friday evening, made it to the top and got a great camping spot nestled in the trees. There were a surprising amount of wildflowers still out which made for some really pretty views.

The next morning we made oatmeal and hung around while the sky cleared a bit. Then we started the Tomyhoi peak day hike from our camping spot. The clouds were playing with the sky and mountains in fun ways. The clouds were moving fast and shifting to reveal bits and pieces as we hiked.

After our little hike we hung around and picked tons of huckleberries to fill the little buckets we brought. We spent hours picking and sitting in the sun. Mt Baker and Chuckanut mountain came out as the day went on. We made some dinner and then packed up. Our hike out was in some great filtered ambient light that made all the flowers seem more colorful.

We got home around 11:30 pm, grabbed some burgers and fries and passed out.
