Niko and Kaycie take in the view of Mount Albert from just off the summit of Mount Baldy.The trail enters a "dwarf forest".These short and incredibly strong trees are very well adapted to the hurricane winds the Castle Wilderness Area is famous for.The orange trail markers did help in sections as the trail wasn't well defined everywhere.Mount Gladstone.Niko on the trail.Kaycie on the trail.The trail was quite well maintained which was a good thing as there were boggy and blow-down sections.There were some fairly wet sections and we gained and lost some height between Baldy and Albert.Larkspur are another flower that's difficult to photograph nicely but I like how this one turned out.Literally carpets of wildflowers!Getting closer to Albert.Three-flowered AvenA classic Castle Wilderness scene with a gnarled, beat down tree in the foreground and mountains in the background, including Table, Syncline and Southfork.The kids escape the tree's grasp.Back on a well-defined trail.Steep hiking near the summit of Albert.Almost there!The kids on the summit of Mount Albert. Beauvais Lake just visible at right.Sublime views from the summit looking west and north (r).
