Stopped by Grove of Patriarchs at SE corner of the Park. Pleasant walk along the shallow and clear Ohanapecosh River. Quite a few large trees up to about 1000 years old. Easiest, 1.5 mile RT, flat.
After lunch, hiked up Naches Peak (6452ft. The left photo was taken from Tipsoo Lake), instead of doing the conventional loop. Lots of flowers along the way (sadly, many killed by my steps): avalanche lily, glacier lily, white anemone. 
On the very top, some bright pink penstemon and heather. 360 degree view. Gorgeous. No real trail to follow. Snow at times. Short but steep. Somewhat dangerous.
