Off trail in the high southern Olympic National Park.
Exposed sandstone bedrock intrusions like this are found only in scattered areas in the Olympic Mountains.
Research tells me that this is possibly a small batholithic plateau that was part of an ancient seabed that was pushed up and rotated into the Olympic Mountains massif.
It was an interesting departure from the usually dark gray to black rocks that are prevalent in the Olympic range.
My route took me down, then up and over the distant ridgeline, and then west (left) on the other side, for three days of traversing meadows and lakes, all in pristine, beautiful subalpine terrain. Eventually intersected a trail two valleys away.
No indication of human presence, which added to the charm of the trip.
Fuji GX680 (I cuss out this beast of a camera a lot, especially packing it off trail. But it's okay, no one hears me).
