  2. Friday's bicycle ride on the Mountain Loop Highway. Started from Verlot, up to Barlow Pass, and back to Verlot. Mountains, rivers, forest, and the "Red Bridge." Passed by Big Four Mountain and the dangerous Ice Caves. The road up was not busy. It's not steep, just a relentless gradual climb, especially the last five miles. #bicycling #cycling #PNW #mountains #Cascades

  7. "Do you like tiny, furry, squeaky animals? Cascades Pika Watch wants your help"

    opb.org/article/2026/06/21/cas

    "Steider is looking for pikas, mammals with furry, little bodies — about the size of a russet potato — and a call like a squeaky toy.

    She said it took just one look at a pika in the wild, 'then I became obsessed because they’re so adorable.' ”

  17. The yard next to #Philadelphia, PA, 🇺🇸 Penn Station is always a good place to spot some new #Amtrak trains being made ready for service. Today I saw a few #Acela trainsets for high-speed workings along the Northeast Corridor, plus some #Cascades sets for future services in the Pacific Northwest.

  22. these are highlands

    These are highlands, in a region of highlands, so
    not especially notable. It takes a long
    time to get here, though the graveled road

    is short enough; park and walk -- not far,
    but bring a lunch and water. Sign in; it's wilderness
    according to the kiosk and its map.

    Immediately you have shade. These are
    Douglas fir, mountain hemlock, perhaps
    some red cedar. Beneath, on both sides the trail,

    a scattering of vine maple, ocean spray,
    rhododendron, and, in the draws, willow.
    Sometimes bear grass is in flower;

    not this year. As late season turns, first
    vanilla leaf, then devil's club, then red
    huckleberry, then the blue, will shade through

    gold to sienna to cranberry: cool nights.
    Kinnickinnick under foot will be your sign
    you are straying; do not lose the path.

    Along the way are springs, but they are dry;
    near them are holes of mountain beaver,
    a town like that of prairie dogs. You will

    not see them; they go abroad at night.
    Admire twinflowers and trilliums, though
    they are past bloom. So it is as well

    with gooseberry and false Solomon's seal --
    they are tired now, and long for snow.
    As your path turns upon itself and climbs

    rocks and trees will change to andesite
    and alpine fir; soil to red dust, shrubs
    to ceanothus. Now you discover that view

    eyes come here to see; a mountainscape
    of scree and scarp and what remains of ice,
    not far away as the crows fly, yet leaning

    over miles of air, blue with smoke and firs.
    You may eat, and drink your water, leaving some
    for your return. Wait here for me a bit

    while I go to see a stone nearby
    where both my parents' ashes lie at rest.
