Such an amazing 2 night backpacking trip on Mt Hood last weekend. I took off early Friday afternoon to head to the mountain to explore, relax and soak up the good mountain vibes. Truly amazing up there, and with a hot weekend, and blue skies upon us, it was a perfect weekend.
I started at Timberline Lodge, full of life, mixed with hikers, adventurers, skiiers and people staying at the Lodge. Heading west along the PCT, I worked my way through some ups and downs, then a major down at the ZigZag Canyon, before going way back up the other side. Hundreds of feet over many switchbacks down, and then the same to go back up. Well worth it to get to Paradise Park, meadows in full bloom of wildflowers, with the Mountain right above, and the rolling hills and other Cascade Mountains in the distance. Truly magical up there and a great spot to hike around, explore and spend a couple nights. Here are a few pictures:
