A fine Sunday for a hike, finally got one of those bluebird days. Hiked the Elk Cove Trail to a beautiful meadow at the base of Mt Hood. 5.1 miles one way, 2700' elevation gain. Hike was on the spine of a ridge, mostly in the woods. One awesome viewpoint about halfway and the end of the trail is a huge meadow with great views of the mountain.
Shot from the car on the drive up - darn near the trailhead.
Shot from the viewpoint about halfway up. Nice contrasty photo, if only all were like this.
Rather stern looking fellow -- hmmm. I'm thinking Pink Floyd -- If you don't eat your meat, how can you have any pudding? How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
Shot from Elk Cove, nice little lunch spot.
Here is the Roddy Dog, couple of happy hikers.
