I was hiking on paradise park trail on Mt. Hood last week and I caught this lovely fella hanging out on this rock. This hike was definitely one of the more difficult ones I have done in my life. More pics soon. Post link
Waking up at 6, I packed up camp and began the climb out of Elk Cove. I thought this day was going to be a little easier than it turned out to be.
As the morning continued to warm up, I made the miles in the morning fairly easily, but by the afternoon, it turned quite hot.
I was glad to be able to get out on the Timberline Trail this Summer, it’s a hike I’ve enjoyed doing every year for the past couple of years. Now I’m preparing for a ten day trip into Idaho, I’ll be leaving on Sunday.
This was the third time I’ve hiked the Timberline Trail and I decided to go counterclockwise, which was a nice change from the other two times.
I started hiking around 9:00 on Monday and the miles started out fairly easy, with some great views, a new friend, and some big climbs. This was my favorite time around this mountain so far.
On Sunday, a coworker, Angel and I, went on sunrise summit hike of McNeil Point on Mt. Hood. We reached the trailhead at eleven and made the short hike up to the top around 1am, where we cowboy camped underneath a starry sky.
Waking up at five, we caught sunrise where we were greeted by a hazy sky.
This was Angel’s first overnight trip and I’m glad he suggested a sunrise hike. • • • • #earthfocus #pnwonderland #Upperleftusa #visualscollective #ultralightbackpacking #lifeofadventure #livefolk #ourplanetdaily #stayandwander #wildernessculture #adventureisoutthere #pnw #adventuretillwedie #McNeilPoint #Roamtheplanet #visualsofearth #exploretocreate #folkscenery #ulbackpacking #cascades #oregon #theNWadventure #ultralight #welivetoexplore #ulbackpacking #Sunrise #hiking #mountains #mthood #backpacking @bestoforegon @oregonexplored @pnwonderland @thenwadventure @thatpnwlife (at Mt.

Some say home is where you feel the most comfortable and to us that’s being in motion. Although this trip meets its conclusion, we know this will not be our last glance. We will continue on, knowing that we will be back to share even more miles with Oregon.
