Day 12: Although the East Coast offers itself as a "leaf-peeping" destination with its abundant reds, Washington's lowland deciduous forests cannot be challenged for golden tones. The occasional Vine Maple leaps out in scarlet array among Cottonwoods, Alders and Ninebark and the ever-present deep-hued evergreen Douglas Fir, accent stitches in Bear Prairie's tapestry. Seen here with mist rising from a sunbeam unexpectedly released through an opening in the overcast, the mountain meadow grasses fairly glow with an ethereal light.
