Larrabee State Park and North Cascades National Park

Sat., July 10 - Grocery shopped and went to Larrabee State Park because my maiden name is Larrabee. It was lovely. We hiked down, down and got some photos of the beach and water.
Sun., July 11 - We left Bellingham and the Pacific Ocean and traveled through the North Cascades National Park. Wow! The water was gorgeous, and the scenery was awesome. The beautiful color of the water is given by the sand that washed down from glaciers. The mountains are truly majestic and HUGE! The trees look like a tree version of a skyscraper. We arrived in Winthrop, Washington, and set back up for two nights here. They have a nice lake full of trout, but Phil is balking at paying $30 to fish for one day. I told him it would be worth it to get a photo where you could actually see the trout, but it is up to him. We do not have television reception here, nor cell phone. The cell phone can access the WiFi, though. Tuesday, we head to St. Regis, MT, for another two nights and then head to Kalispell, MT, for a week. We will "do" the Glacier National Park from there.
