Selected photos by Rod Crawford and Della Scott from a 7 August 2013 spider collecting trip to the east side of Chinook Pass, Yakima County, Washington. Intended to supplement some old records, the trip succeeded in boosting the area sample to 27 species, including the rare Parasyrisca orites taken by Jerry Austin who dauntlessly climbed a high ridge to get it. Oh, and we also got in some dog-walking.
