Indian Henry’s Hunting Grounds
Indian Henry’s Hunting Grounds
The one place where there seemed to be few mosquitoes was the beautiful box canyon waterfall onDream creek, just before Devils Dream campground. I stopped here for a while to snap some photos.
Arriving at Indian Henry’s around 8 PM I was just coming to the conclusion that I was the only sole up there when I passed the Ranger. He seemed happy to see me, as he was awaiting my arrival. He mentioned a couple of good campsites and sent me on my way the last 1.5 miles to camp.
I managed to find a nice snow field to camp on that looked out toward Mt. Adams to the south while up at Rainier and Pyramid Peak to the north. I set up camp, snapped a few photos of the sunset, and crashed for the night. After a short night’s rest, I awoke to take photos of the sunrise at 4:30. By 7:30, the land was pretty well illuminated and I decided to ascend Pyramid Peak where I would hopefully take a much needed nap. When I reached the top of the peak, the view was even better than I imagined it’d be. However, the mosquitoes were so thick, I didn’t sleep for fear I’d wake up with an eye swollen shut. After an hour or so I descended back to camp and prepared for my trip out.
I stopped and visited the ranger at Indian Henry’s Patrol cabin until 4PM and then returned to by 7PM
