Stehekin, North Cascades National Park

The Dehaviland Beaver bush or seaplane.

Stehekin can only be accessed by air or water, by foot or horseback.

Pictured high above the 3rd largest lake ( Chelan ) in America. 1500' is depth of lake, I believe, at deepest.

The canyon is the deepest in America.

Natives lived here until this area was discovered by white men. It was taken for agriculture and sent natives to Coleville Reservation. A desert.

A valley used for growing fruit until recently when wineries have been put in.

This area surrounding Lake Chelan was the recent location for many forest fires in Washington state.

Sunset last night. Stage 1

After one of our particularly washed out somber days of 

white skies, of the nimbostratus variety, the clouds decided to 

make mischief, as they so often do, gathering to make a storm or have a powwow somewhere, and putting on a big show at sunset.. wow wow wow. Starts here, and will develop over a few days.. 

Yesterday's Ferry voyage to Whidbey Island.
