Dearest Beautiful Mountain, We tiny mere mortals can arrange a sacrifice, if it would please you and persuade you to not blow your top again. I'm pretty sure u/PrettyDryPerry is available. Sincerly, All of us.

Gorgeous :). When was this taken?

I felt that way. Thank you.

So stunning with snow! I’ve only flown over it during the summer so to see this view with snow is pretty neat. 🤩

You fill that lake back up right now mister!

When do they raise it again?

It's definitely possible to find octopuses in tidepools, though they're uncommon and/or tough to spot. People occasionally find them at low tide on rocky beaches in Seattle and other areas of Puget Sound. (e.g. Constellation Park in West Seattle). My family and I saw one in a shallow channel at Salt Creek last fall.

Just FYI if you visit: bring a sun hat, sunblock, and a shitload of water and snacks. There’s zero shade out on the flats. The nearest restaurant is all the way down in Cougar, and they take tourists to the cleaners. Same with gas. Fill up in Woodland, Kalama, or Castle Rock. Before anything else, call USFS Gifford Pinchot in Vancouver for road conditions. They can be pretty rough.
E: If you know where to look on Johnston Ridge, there’s a very small marker where Johnston was sitting when he got obliterated.

Rialto Beach/Hole-in-the-Wall tide pools: Starfish, sea anemones, hermit crabs, seaweed/kelp, sea rocks/stacks, sea otters, bald eagles, etc.: https://www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/tidepool-activities.htm

For octopuses, you'll need to snorkel-dive in Puget Sound or visit the Seattle Aquarium.

That and they were already airborne.

The locals snuck in and planted trout.

Shi Shi is a bit more work to get to, but at low tide the rock stacks have cylindrical holes in the top and each one is it's own little aquarium.

Skyline is great! Another good option, but longer drive is Mount Baker Ski Area. Park in Heather Meadows lot (paid parking for overnight, book and pay online.) You could hike all the way up to Artist Point but there are plenty of good spots much closer to the lot. Have fun!!

Wowzers that's low.

About a 800 foot wave, hence how all the logs got in the lake.

How?

Look, a Nazi

Man you sound like a real Nazi

There's a decent artificial reef there if you're scuba diving but the near shore tide pools are unremarkable.

Ah, OK. I confused Lake Cushman with Lake Crescent at first. I get it :)

Hey that’s exactly what I’m looking for! Awesome. Thank you so much 😃

Cool! Thank you.. it does seem very Sandy nearest where I’m at, so it looks like I’ll have to make a longer day trip or overnight stay somewhere 😃

Awesome picture
