Rattlesnake Ledge

We did a walk this afternoon, from Rattlesnake Lake...

...up to Rattlesnake Ridge.

It was a great walk through the trees until...

...one shower turned into a bit more than we bargained for — sleet, hail and some snow thrown in for good measure.

Since the white slippery stuff was starting to settle, we thought the prudent thing was to turn round and hightail it down again...

...where we sat by the lake and scoffed the summit-cookie supplies!

Another trip to add to the list of one's to try again — along with Wallace Falls (started too late in the day), Twin Falls (trail washed out), and getting to the top of Rainier (er, a little on the high side for young Finn).
