Some pretty nice weather was forecast but the was a catch - no water in the rivers, no snow on the slopes, no ice to climb.  What to do?  Time to go for a reflective hike alone.

A few inches of snow near the trailhead.
 
 

Alpine Lookout at the top of Nason Ridge.
 
 

Glacier Peak as seen from the lookout.
 

This would make a really nice boulder problem if you had a huge crash pad.
 
 

Looking back towards Wenatche Valley.
