Camping at Mt. Hood...

Mt. Hood

We went camping at Lost Creek. Actually, that campsite was full, so we ended up back the road a ways at a nearby campground.

Hiked up a trail the local ranger station recommended for good view of Mt. Hood. We ended up hiking part of the Pacific Crest trail by mistake (made a wrong turn at a crossroad of paths in the woods). Was still a great hike, and we just doubled-back and got on the right trail... the "wow" trail. As we emerged from the trees, we were overlooking a valley of Mt. Hood and the mountain was right there - HUGE!

Set up at a good spot, and took pictures.

Think we'll come back in the future and hike up to Lost Lake. That's also a really good place to get pictures of Mt. Hood (along with the lake), but wasn't enough time this trip.
