01 001 Olympic traverse Grand Valley (200k)
This photograph taken in July of 1961 is looking south into the heart of Olympic National Park and taken near Obstruction Peak on the east end of Hurricane Ridge. This view can see Grand Lake at the foot of the Grand Valley were the troop had been earlier that morning. At the head of the Valley is Cameron Pass and beyond is Sentinel Peak. Beneath the peak flows the Dosewallips River there the traverse started.
01 002 Olympic traverse rest stop (227k)
One thing this troop had perfected near the end of the Olympic Mountain traverse was how to do a rest stop. Most of these scouts are well on their way to earning the wilderness napping merit badge. It is interesting to note the 1960s foot wear and the backpacks. How many pair of Wolverine high-top work boots and how many wood frame Trapper Nelson pack boards can you count in this fuzzy Kodak Instamatic photo?
