Central Washington Black and Whites

With the lurking desire to get out and explore more of the east side of the Cascade Mountains and Central Washington I made a recent camping trip.  Over 4 days I slowly made my way between the Yakima Valley and Leavenworth,   here are a few black and white images from the trip.
