Rebecca and I took a geology course (actually Rebecca was the co-instructor) with Carroll College. The first day we went up to Ptarmigan Tunnel and learned alot about the history and features in the rocks (even though most of my pictures are flowers and scenic we did look at lots of rocks - rocks just arent as photogenic).
We saw a baby Ptarmigan(??) on the Ptarmigan Tunnel trail.

The second day we hiked up to Siyeh Pass - just before we got to the exposed pass it looked like things were going to get nasty. But as we got the top and had lunch it all cleared up and the afternoon was beautiful and sunny - we even saw a grizzly mom and cub (fortunately from a far distance - no photos) on the way down.
Here is a picture of the group.
These are limestone columbine
We ran into a huge field of Glacier Lillies.

There were tons of bear grass on the lower portion of the hike
Towards the end of the Siyeh Pass hike we saw this waterfall on Barring Creek
