We mostly worked today, but did make time for an afternoon hike through Iceberg Point at the south end of the island.

A narrow reddish-brown dirt trail winds through a dense evergreen forest of tall conifers, flanked by low green undergrowth under an overcast, pale sky.
A grassy, rocky bluff dotted with a few small evergreen trees and dry golden grasses overlooking a calm, silvery expanse of water under a heavily overcast gray sky, with faint distant land visible on the horizon.
A dirt footpath winds up a grassy coastal bald covered in golden-brown grass and scattered rocks at Iceberg Point on Lopez Island, with a low rocky ridge and a lone shrub on the horizon. The sea stretches out at left under an overcast, hazy gray sky where the sun glows dimly through the clouds.
A rugged coastline of weathered gray rock and golden dry grass sloping toward calm blue-gray sea, with scattered evergreen trees clinging to the rocky headland and low hills fading into a hazy horizon under an overcast sky.
A rocky hillside covered in pale gray-green reindeer lichen and moss, interspersed with dry golden grasses, with a weathered bare piece of driftwood or dead branch lying across the lower portion at Iceberg Point.
A close-up of a fractured rock outcrop with layered gray and rust-orange stone, patches of pale lichen, and small green plants and dry grasses growing from the crevices at Iceberg Point on Lopez Island.
Large pale granite boulders sit among dry golden grass on a coastal headland overlooking calm blue-gray water dotted with dark strands of floating kelp at Iceberg Point, Lopez Island.
A narrow dirt trail winds through golden dry grass along a rocky coastal bluff at Iceberg Point, with rocky outcrops meeting the calm gray-blue sea and a stand of evergreen trees on the headland to the right under an overcast sky.
A rugged outcrop of jagged, weathered rock streaked with orange lichen rises against an overcast gray sky, with small hardy plants and reddish shrubs growing in its crevices. To the left, dry golden grass slopes down toward a calm distant sea at Iceberg Point on Lopez Island.
A rugged, lichen-covered rocky outcrop rises above a field of tawny dried grass and seed-headed wildflowers, with a single small conifer growing near the ridgeline against an overcast pale gray sky.
A large tangle of bleached driftwood logs piled against weathered gray rock outcrops streaked with orange lichen at Iceberg Point, with dry golden grass in the foreground and a calm, pale gray sea stretching to a hazy horizon.
