Wilbur stands near a campsite on the shore of Lake Lillian where he camped with his children years ago when they were young. A false summit near our destination is above his head.

Lake Laura as seen from a ledge above Lake Lillian. Everything is so dry, even the moss is crispy. We desperately need rain!

From the top of Dungeon Wilbur looks a few thousand feet down. In the distance are two peaks we recently hiked. The bare round summit on the left is the summit of Lillian Ridge and the peak above Wilbur's head is Mount Margaret. It is fun to see locations we have recently hiked from different perspectives. Normally we would have had a good view of Mt. Rainier but visibility was severely limited as a result of smoke from wildfires in the region.

Wilbur stands below the cairn we built on the summit of Dungeon. I have no idea why this peak is nicknamed Dungeon as it is the antithesis of a dank underground prison cell.

Visibility was severely limited by the smoke from wildfires in the east and north of us.

I leaned around an enormous tree perched on the edge of a cliff in an effort to see Lake Lillian (left) and Lake Laura (right).
