Upon the Hudson Bay
Brigade Trail:
Found in the Cascade Mountain Range
After hiking along a portion of the alpine skirted
Hudson Bay Brigade Trail a wilderness jewel
Is found. "Palmers Pond"
Reflecting the overwhelming magnitude of
Flora and fauna in high-country refreshing
Alpine atmosphere
Palmers Pond is a discerning wilderness
Alpine treasure to behold
Reflecting a rippling skirt of true alpine wildflowers
Oh! The essence of alpine wildflowers
Riding on a gentle shifting alpine breeze
Blood red Indian Paintbrush, Mountain Laurel,
Pink Heather, Tiger Lilies, and "Old Man of the Mountain"
(A cotton-like alpine plant.) Creating a most unique
High alpine fragrance
Palmers Pond, with Davis Mountain in the foreground
Is a backpackers' paradise
The serene love, and joy in experiencing the peace
Which totally transcends all understanding in Nature
Palmers Pond, a wilderness mirror, reflecting the
Observer's image
Giving the beholder the well deserved chance to
Meditate in Nature's serenity
Palmers Pond is a most picturesque full alpine
Amphitheater
Expressing Nature's spirit in the absolute magnificence
And full glory found in Nature's pantry.
