Snow on Indian Heaven Trail

There's still a lot of snow in the Indian Heaven wilderness, which made for extremely difficult navigation. Hiked 60 miles last week and heading out now further south to greener pastures (hopefully). Check out the pics below, including a couple of the fire south of Mt. Adams.

Indian Heaven

I entered, a man
and emerged, a forest product
smelling, one with the land.

from "Rhapsody"

where is the summit where all aims are clear

[...]

I have always wanted to be near it
though the day is long (and I don't mean Madison Avenue)
lying in a hammock on St. Mark's Place sorting my poems
in the rancid nourishment of this mountainous island
they are coming and we holy ones must go
is Tibet historically a part of China? as I historically
belong to the enormous bliss of American death
