Eagle Creek Trail durning my PCT thru-hike last year…right after Tunnel Falls !
Seattle is basically built on a pile of glacial till. I live on a 300' hill that is topped with hard packed silt left by the last glacier about 14,000 years ago. This huge erratic known as Wedgwood Rock is about a mile from my house.
From the Rim of the Gap trail in South Carolina…

From the Middle Fork of Taylor Creek in Kolob Canyons.
Out here in WASHington, we like our boulders clean, so we park them in rivers :)
We were day hiking in the rain and the trail met the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River to give this downstream view of river, rocks and mist.
I didn't realize until later that the big boulder on the right actually has a name.
Equal parts boulder, water and trees… a great place to stick one's hot feet into some cool water.
