On Sept 1st we hiked into Patjens. A series of 4 ponds/lakes. The water was a bit low, but its late in the season.
This is a good place to find out more
Rio was happy to go and the kids had a great time. We found a bright green frog and a baby (~4 inch long) garter snake. We also found some leeches (by turning over rocks not the 'traditional' way, thank goodness!)
About a 5 mile loop from Big Lake (near Hoodoo Ski) and close to Mt Washington. There was a forest fire burning closeby.
