Glacier Peak Backpacking: Day 2

The highlight of today was seeing my first bear in two decades. He was rummaging around a meadow next to the backpackers camp at Image Lake. Explored some unmaintained trails above Image Lake. Headed down toward Canyon Lake but turned around when I realized there was no one around for miles. Visited the Miners Ridge Lookout Tower.

Image Lake sits in the middle of an alpine meadow. Trees circle part of the lake with trees on the opposite side of the lake reflecting in it. Glacier Peak dominates the background under mostly cloudy sky.

A black bear pokes around a meadow looking for food near Image Lake. The bear is about 30 meters from a backpackers camp where hikers had just left their backpacks completely unattended while they went for a hike around the lake.
