September 2013: Huckleberries on Mount Sawyer

One of the treats of hiking in September in the Cascades is the chance of getting some huckleberries along the trail. We decided to explore Tonga Ridge, known for its generous spread of huckleberry bushes. It also has a high point designated Mount Sawyer. Huckleberries were the primary goal, but the adults involved have a fondness for getting to the tops of things, so we were hopeful of bagging a minor peak as well.

Proof we made it!
