My brother and I originally made the plan for this trip when we were camped out at
Image Lake last year. The idea was to make a two-day approach from the west side by way of the Suiattle River Trail. Due to storm damage, we opted for the eastside approach instead.
Bonanza Peak above the lower Lyman Lake.
We took a day trip up to Cloudy Pass on the second day.
Later in the day the marmots were busily eating, many of them kept their distance, but this one seemed quite interested in me.
