Mountains

One of the things about the Seattle area that strikes me as odd is that the Cascade Mountains are close enough that they're easy to drive to, and through, for that matter within a couple of hours, but far enough away that they're mostly out of sight. And so I commonly forget that they are there. Today, however, I was out driving and wound up in the foothills. I'm not a climber, so I didn't find a trailhead for a trek up the side of anything. But still, it was nice to just spend some time watching them, and taking them in.
