Gardner Peaks - kind of boring and light on larches which I knew going in, but still wanted to check out this area.

I love WA Pass for how dark it gets, perhaps one of the darker places in the state

---

Pretty fall colors

---

Through the burn scars

---

Random rock formation near next to the summit

---

My first view of larches, looking at the north side of Abernathy ridge

---

Abernathy ridgeline continued

---

Dome Peak and Chickamin Glacier in the background

---

Looking at North Gardner Mountain

---

From North Gardner looking back at Gardner Mountain

---

Glacier Peak and Bonanza to its left

---

Goode, Buckner, Forbidden

---

Baker and Ragged Ridge to its left

---

Shuksan and Southern Pickets to its right

---

Jack Mountain

---

Cool slides wiping out the trees, rock slide or more likely and avalanche?

---

Finally seeing larches up close at the end of the day

---

Exxxcellent scree skiing

Notes

• This was probably ~26 miles and 8400 feet of vertical gain in a little under 11 hours.
